So I decided I am going to completely restart with a fresh install of Win 8 but the install ended up being nearly 30GB. That is without any programs installed yet, essentially a brand spanking new install.
My install was the upgrade option, over Win 7, and if I remember correctly, I chose to completely wipe out the old OS.
I did see a win.old folder, but have deleted it, or as much as Win 8 will let me. The properties of the win.old folder now says the size of the folder is 0 MB, however, the install is still around 30 GB.
What is the typical size of a 64bit Win 8 install supposed to be? Are there some hidden or left over files that can be deleted?
