Currently, SupportAssist is taking up 26GB of precious SSD storage space, and I would like to have that storage back. I have already disabled SupportAssist's backup feature, but yet the backups remain.... Hi SpanishMoss: Did you re-boot your computer after turning off System Repair in SupportAssist [Options (gear icon) | Settings | System Repair | Turn System Repair Off | DISABLED]  before you checked if the hidden folder at C:\ProgramData\Dell\SARemediation\System Repair has decreased in size?  According to guthrie's 06-Nov-2021 post in their thread file size -SAR REmediation the Dell system repair points in that folder were not deleted until after their computer was re-booted.  If a re-boot doesn't help see some of the other hints posted in that thread.

Currently, SupportAssist is taking up 26GB of precious SSD storage space, and I would like to have that storage back. I have already disabled SupportAssist's backup feature, but yet the backups remain. I would like to know if it is safe to manually delete all of the backup files. I was able to find out where all my space had gone by using WizTree (see screenshot) and while I cannot access the files normally, I can use WizTree to delete them. My SSD is only 256GB big so if anybody knows if it is safe (as in it won't break my computer because it relies on the backup files for something) to remove the backups. (If it is important, my SSD is my boot drive, so I don't want windows to break) Thanks! -SpanishMoss [IMAGE] PS. To be clear, I don't want to delete SupportAssist, I just want to delete the backup files.
