Hi all I have just downloaded SP2 from m/s auto updates.
I have now noticed I have quite a bit more free hard disc space...before I had 218GB free,now it states I have 256GB free ?

jid:
I noticed I had more free space after installing it too :-\ ???

This could give the answer:-

Good find jamie


--- Quote --- one reader claimed that installing Vista SP2 freed up a massive 40 GB chunk of disk space. Another reader said, "Wow! I didn't notice that til now. I went from about 88GB free to 122GB free. That's a significant change 'under the hood,' isn't it?" And yet another reader gained back 130 GB of hard disk space. Wow.

At least a couple users told me that their free space grew significantly after installing SP2, without them doing anything else. Vista SP2 includes a command-line cleanup tool (compcln.exe) you can run to remove older system files and restore points, thus freeing up hard disk space.

That certainly is one heck of an improvement.!!!!! :o

UncleUB:
Thanks for the link Jamie.  :thumbs:

38GB better for me,still saying that I have plenty of disc space so it didn't really matter,better than losing 38GB though.

jid:
I think it was about 20gb after working it all out...

It shows how much space a quick clean can free up...

Shame they waited till SP2 to roll the clean out though...
