winsxs over 17gb - 2008 std sp2 - Unresolved

100's of 1000's of 2008 sp2 servers suffer with this issue for years now. Still nothing from MS!!!
We have servers with winsxs dirs over 17GB

____________

We have raised a case with microsoft ... will post you the update soon........!


I spoke to MS support guy today (1:35 AM 4/7/2015) and he told that there was no other way to cleanup winsxs folder in 2008 standard sp2 EDITION


with the help of "windirstat" tool i found that - c:\windows\wisxs\mainfestcache\** occupied 2gig of data  and cleared that by the below method




1. Takeown /f %windir%\winsxs\ManifestCache\*

2. Icacls %windir%\winsxs\ManifestCache\* /GRANT administrators:F


3. Del /q %windir%\winsxs\ManifestCache\*
