WSUS cleaning tool beyond built in option for \WsusContent folder space recovery

Copper Contributor

I have a 2019 std server running WSUS. The drive usage is reaching 300 GB at the \Wsuscontent folder. I have run the server cleanup wizard multiple times but not much space is recovered not sure this tool performs cleaning on the content folder. Do you guys run a script or have a free tool to recover space? 

 

Thanks,

Appreciate the links. More specifically the WsusContent folder is the issue.
