asked on 

winsxs folder growth

I've already searched the KB and found that there really is no solution to the winsxs folder size continuing to grow.
The question I'd like to pose -- I have an Intel Xeon processor in the server, can I delete all the AMD folders in the winsxs folder without causing harm to the system?  That would free up about 4.5 GB of space for me.

Wow, not what I was hoping to hear but thank you for this.  I guess I'm going to have to rebuild/redesign the server in question to make the C: drive bigger.
Thanks.
