I tried to use this tool to make a a better ltsb windows and I cannot delete the DVD folder. It has a copy of my windows/programfiles and is taking up 15gb of data. It has some weird block that is preventing me from deleting it. Already tried using command dism /cleanup-Mounpoints and Unlocker app
Completed successfully. But still can't delete the DVD folder. Just tried safe mode and the files are STILL locked. WTF?
Yeah that happened to me as well the first run though playing around, something I didn't do right I'm sure. ended up using power shell to take ownership of the dvd folder then reset the permissions manually. pretty sure I had to do some fanaglingto finally get the permissions to take but I got it. sorry I can't find the script I used, because I may have acutallyset the ACL attributes with it as well but I think you should be able to use Nsudo to open cmd as the trusted installer and del the folder that way. that's the account that had the full rights to mine at the time. hope that help
Is it the DVD folder or the folder where the image is mounted? If DISM is locking it, you can see the currently mounted images with the switch Code: /get-mountedwiminfo And then unmount it manually. This will usually take care of that issue. But as you say it is the DVD folder, it has never happened to me. Cheers.
Code: DISM /Cleanup-Wim Unmounts /discard all residing mount points, it must be something that has control of the content of the dvd folder
That doesn't solve the issue either. I deleted all the files and folders beside the DVD folder. I think because the folders inside are windows related maybe ltsb has a built in protection as to prevent the user from deleting system sensitive files? I got these 4 folders locked: Program Files Program files (x86) ProgramData Windows Full path is C:\Users\Mainpc\Downloads\ToolKit-v8.6\DVD
LTSB is just enterprise with a special servicing level, not a magical special edition Something has control over the dvd folder, boot using a live linux or a winpe iso and delete the dvd folder.
I tried MEGA, but it requires registration to download. Same with mediafire. I couldn't read mail.ru, and multiup only allows me to download one file at a time. So the only links that work are the pCloud ones.
Mega does not require registration, and mail.ru gets translated automatically through your browser if you use Chrome.
ok I got it. The only thing that's required is Toolkit-v8.6.7z, and the rest of the files are optional. Only pc.cd gave unregistered users the ability to download a multi-GB directory at once, which is what I tried doing originally. Edit: Also, can I use MSMG Toolkit on a Windows Enterprise LTSB iso? What if I set MSMG to delete something that's not included in LTSB, like Cortana? Does MSMG still handle LTSB images correctly in all cases, or is there something I need to watch out for?
On LTSB ISO you can just remove Windows Components and apply some tweaks since LTSB is already clean, i mean, without cortana etc.
There's no point in using LTSB if you're using MSMG toolkit though, because MSMG toolkit can give you the same result as LTSB with the newest v1803. And NO you aren't forced to update to a new branch! That's misinformation!
Oh yes there is a point. LTSB still contains some crap and there is the package list removal feature too which i like. One of the telemetry removal guides here has a nice package list. I would like to see a tool or a batch file that does list package removals only. I looked at the msmg file but i cant see how to unhide and decouple packages.
