    Code:
    Delete:
wimlib-imagex delete "path\to\your.wim" 1 --check
Optimize:
wimlib-imagex optimize "path\to\your.wim" --check --recompress
     
    Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand...

    I used this
    Code:
    dism /Get-WimInfo /wimfile:”C:\Users\e-marnoldus\Desktop\Windows Server 2012 R2 x64\sources\install.wim”

Index : 1
Name : Windows Server 2012 R2 SERVERSTANDARDCORE
Description : Windows Server 2012 R2 SERVERSTANDARDCORE
Size : 6,897,618,255 bytes

Index : 2
Name : Windows Server 2012 R2 SERVERSTANDARD
Description : Windows Server 2012 R2 SERVERSTANDARD
Size : 12,069,723,893 bytes

Index : 3
Name : Windows Server 2012 R2 SERVERDATACENTERCORE
Description : Windows Server 2012 R2 SERVERDATACENTERCORE
Size : 6,876,269,628 bytes

Index : 4
Name : Windows Server 2012 R2 SERVERDATACENTER
Description : Windows Server 2012 R2 SERVERDATACENTER
Size : 12,066,707,039 bytes

The operation completed successfully.

dism /Delete-Image /ImageFile:”C:\Users\e-marnoldus\Desktop\Windows Server 2012 R2 x64\sources\install.wim” /Index:1

    Does Windows install faster from USB if it has a WIM instead of an ESD?
