    Yes. Disk Cleanup does not perform /ResetBase. And neither of those cleans all those WU backups:

    Code:
    del "%WINDIR%\Installer\$PatchCache$" /s /f /q
del "%WINDIR%\SoftwareDistribution" /s /f /q
del "%WINDIR%\WinSxS\Backup" /s /f /q

    Thanks man, so is it a good idea to run the DISM command I posted above followed by the commands you posted from time to time?

    Edit, when I ran those commands as a batch file, I could see a large list of files scrolling really fast but I saw an access denied message for deleting them.

    I did run the command as admin. What shall I do?
