WSUS - question
When i installed WSUS i accidentally selected unnecessary products and it queued up my disk space and i do see those on critical update lists. I went back and unchecked the one that i don't use. Still i don't see that cleaned up. Can some one let me know how to clean this.
I did try Server Cleanup Wizard and no luck.

Open WSUS console and choose option - run server cleanup wizard to clean.
approve the updates first, and then run the cleanup wizard. They will then be declined and removed, if they are in unapproved status then they will stay there waiting for you to select an action on them.

I did the following steps.
1) Correct any settings above or disapprove any unneeded updates.
2) Close any open WSUS consoles.
3) Go to Administrative Tools – Services and STOP the Update Services service.
4) In Windows Explorer browse to the WSUSContent folder (typically D:\WSUS\WSUSContent or C:\WSUS\WSUSContent)
5) Delete ALL the files and folders in the WSUSContent folder.
6) Go to Administrative Tools – Services and START the Update Services service.
7) Open a command prompt and navigate to the folder: C:\Program Files\Update Services\Tools.
8) Run the command WSUSUtil.exe RESET

The reporting within WSUS should be able to tell you everything you need to know.
Also wuauclt /detectnow tells the client to query WSUS for updates, but it doesnt tell WSUS it's Status until every 22 hours by default(This can be changed with GP)
