Many posts on the web re:cleanmgr say it requires Desktop Experience, and some that just say copy the two cleanmgr files to System32 (two destinations).

cd C:\Windows\winsxs\amd64_microsoft-windows-cleanmgr....
copy cleanmgr.exe %windir%\System32\
copy cleanmgr.exe.mui %windir%\System32\en-US\
pause

I can't install anything as my disk is nearly full. Unless Desktop Experience has a 0KB footprint it is not an option. I copied the two files as directed on other posts. The program runs w/o displaying an error but nothing happens. I do not see the dialog box for choosing the drive letter as I see on Win7.

All I really need to do is clean up winsxs which keeps growing over time and filling up my C:\ drive.

How do I empty winsxs? Or anyone recognize the cleanmgr not doing anything?

This problem is on a production Windows Server 2008 R2 x64.
