Hello,

I have the same issue...I need to reclaim space on the C: drive.
Diskcleanup has done what it can, but I still need more space. Before trying
the suggestions listed, I have a few questions.

1. Do I need to stop any services or processing before moving the pagefile?
2. If I stop automatic updates and delete the softwaredistribution folder,
how can I get it to be recreated on a different drive?
3. Will I need any of the files that are in the softwaredistribution folder?

I appreciate any you can give me. If I need to post these questions
separately, please let me know. I am new to the newsgroups.

Thank you.
