During the installation of Service Pack
1, the free place in the system partition
is noticeably reduced. So much so that
Windows sometimes cribs that there is
very little memory available on ‘C:’.
Vista backs up the old versions of the files which the service pack replaces which can be removed later. Should your PC correctly function after the update, you can delete the older versions. After all they often occupy several hundred Mega Bytes.
The tool ‘vsp1cln.exe’ serves for the cleaning. It lies in the folder ‘System32’ under the Windows directory. If you are already logged into a user account with administrator privileges, type ‘Command’ in the search fi eld of the Start Menu and in the resulting list, click on ‘Command Prompt’. If you are logged in without admin privileges, open ‘Start | All Programs | Accessories’, right click on the entry ‘Command Prompt’ and select ‘Execute as administrator’ in the context menu. After that you must authorize the command by selecting a user account with administrator privileges by entering the appropriate password.
Navigate with the command ‘cd’ (change directory) to the folder ‘System32’ under the Windows directory. Subsequently type
vsp1cln.exe /verbose
and confirm with [Enter]. Vista once again reminds that after execution of this command you cannot uninstall the service pack any more. Quit this reminder by clicking ‘Yes’ to begin the cleaning procedure. The cleaning procedure takes a few minutes.
