    Program to remove WindowsUpdate Uninstall files from WinSxS folder

    I am using a WIndows VIsta based laptop since past 6 months and i keep Windows Auto Update turned on. Now there are several older windows update files i can see in my WinSxs folder. I wanted to know why doesn't Microsoft provide a program for removing older WindowsUpdate Uninstall files from the the above said folder just like they provided VSP1Cln to remove the SP1 uninstall files after SP1 was installed for Vista. Any idea? Is there any way we can remove those older files?

    I think you can remove it yourself manually as well. Just type Windows Update in search field. Open the Updates Windows. Here search for an option saying Installed Updates. Click any of them and select uninstall or delete. Thats it.
