Can winsxs be moved and if so how?
My SSD is running out of space. The winsxs folder is by far the biggest holder of space. So I wanted to move the folder to another drive, then make a junction to actually point to the new location.
The stumbling block is that to create a junction, you must delete the source folder. And I can't do that because Windows won't let me. It states that TrustedInstaller user owns the folder and I can't do anything about it. I attempted to take ownership of the folder but windows simply won't let me.
My questions are as follows:
- What I am trying to do...is it safe?
- How do I take ownership of the
winsxsfolder?
