Oh of course
You know I read it 3 times, but didn't get it till right now

You were probably wondering why I posted all that other stuff
I thought you were yelling at me (that I made more files for you)
So I posted all this other stuff (that was my little angry bit)

Very sorry about that
But at least I continued on.

That G! command is 100% safe. I recommend using it!

Thanks Habylab, I ended up doing it too, because of our discussion

I hate all useless system files. Not that I normally recommend others to do this though.

Thanks for the update

Its good, you agree? It works really well.

Bad news, I now get this in the cmd window, that reads:

What does this mean, and how can I fix this?

It's just saying one of the subkeys of Windows Installer folder could not be removed
That's all
It must be in use or something

By the way

They are brilliant! Have you tried the latest version. No way is it a system hog anymore. It is brilliant! I hated it before, preferred free ones, but now it rules!
