Delete WSUS Content after changing to "Do not store update files locally"

Hi all,

After running WSUS 3.0 SP2 on an SBS 2011 Standard Server for a few months, we've changed the WSUS config to "Do not store update files locally..." as we have a small network and not a massive amount of disk space on our Server.

I ran the Server Cleanup Wizard, hoping it would delete the locally stored update files, but no go. I then renamed the WsusContent folder to see if WSUS would keep working fine (assuming we no longer need that content), but we'd get EULA display errors when approving updates.

Is there any way anyone knows of to remove the content, or are we better off just uninstalling / reinstalling?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks, I wondered about a reset, but didn't want to endure another 50Gb download! Will do this when our data cap rolls over again... just in case!!

Thanks for the link!
