I added sp1 and it used up 3.5 GB on my raptor and my Windows folder sits at 19 GB now- I have cleaned the drive for temp files and such and have turned off everything that should be wasting disk space- does everyone else have this big a file?

Search for the Windows_old file - It contains the data from your old installation. If you don't need it, delete it.

This is a fresh install of Ultimate not an upgrade- I havent reinstalled it since February and I see the winxxs or some such file is over 10 GB- is there any ways to clean that thing out?
