FYI MacBook Air owners:
Quote: Apple has determined that certain 64GB and 128GB flash storage drives used in the previous generation of MacBook Air systems may fail. These systems were sold between June 2012 through June 2013.

Since Windows 7, when you run a disk cleanup and select Windows Update Cleanup (mostly after the service pack installation). It takes at-least an hour to cleanup. I can download and install the same update 10 times in that time.
Windows 8.1 just updated with today's launch. and I performed disk cleanup to free up 450 MB of disk space on 5 different computers, and it took 1.0 - 2.5 hours to cleanup with > 70% CPU utilization.
When you run disk cleanup, it scans your computer and then tells you how much space it is going to free. So I am guessing it creates some king of list. So why it takes to long to loop through the list and remove the files.
When they are going to fix this.

I've wondered about this and figured that they are doing a lot of checking and ACID type operations to make sure they don't brick the system if power is lost.

But the update is already applied, this is the cleaning process of temporary setup files, right?
|
|
|
|
|
It has to scrub the uninstall data from various places and what if one update is dependent on another update?
This is just one theory.
Do remember that Microsoft isn't known for it's speedy installs.

Update Cleanup? What's that? I never have run it, because the first thing I do is turn off automatic updates.

They probably create a restore point before deleting each file.
