Your list of historical updates intensifies with a number of important updates that are optional, and that you dont want to serve with. Simply delete the file edb.log in the Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore\Logs.
This file is constantly being used by the automatic updates of Windows, deleting it will be impossible, even with software like Unlocker, as this service is loaded into memory.
Note that what we do is irreversible! But not fatal.
To stop this service temporarily:
- Go From the Start menu> All Programs> Accessories.
- Right-click on the "command prompt"> Run as Administrator.
- Type this command:
net stop wuauserv
And validate.
- Wait until confirmation has been done that the service is stopped.
To delete the file, a simple command in the command prompt:
del %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore\Logs\edb.log
You can also delete it manually.
The service will relaunch in automatic mode at the next reboot, or you can restart with this command:
net start wuauserv
This does in no way uninstall the updates installed. If you want to uninstall an update, go to Programs and Features "and click on" Show updates installed.
You can also create a batch file to automate the operation.
- Go to the Start menu> All Programs> Accessories> Notepad
- Copy in there:
CD\
net stop wuauserv
del %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore\Logs\edb.log
net start wuauserv
- Go to the File menu> Save.
- Change the file type "All Files."
- Give the file a name that ends with. Bat
- Validate and close.
To run this batch file, you must right-click over> Run as administrator. And history updates will be removed!
