    Hi

    Im trying to get rid of a load of updates from my SCE2007 install, i have set it to only download updates for certain servers, and applications.  However it had downloaded all updates prior to me setting this up, over 20,000 updates.  I then went through the ones i did not want and declined them all, so have what i need now.  However after running the cleanup agent both via the GUI and cmd prompt.  The disk space for the updates is completely full and no matter what i do i cannot get the disk space down.  Currently its 16gb full.

    I have looked at the databases that are there and have the following is this right

    SUSDB database that is 4gb

    Then in d:\program files\SCE\Wsuscontent i have files that combined are 8gb

    Is this normal

    Hello,

    To remove the updates, you should finish the following two steps:

    1. Decline the updates in SCE 2007 console.

    2. Run the Server Cleanup Wizard in WSUS console.

    For your information, there are more details in the following thread:

    20 GB of available hard disk space is recommended for SCE 2007 server.

    Thanks,
