The folder C:\Windows\System32\wbem\ takes up almost 100 GB on my SSD drive. This doesn't feel like an optimal utilization of my SSD drive. Can it be reduced?
I've come across some references to "rebuilding your WMI repository" that seemed related to the wbem directory. So I've tried doing this, but the size did not decrease noticeably.
The content in the wbem directory is a lot of folders named repository.xxx where xxx is 001 to 096. These folders' sizes range from 758 MB to 1 140 MB. There is also a folder called merely repository, which is 1 078 MB in size.
I'm using Windows 8 Enterprise 64-bit (not Win 8.1). I just ran winmgmt /verifyrepository and got the result: WMI repository is consistent
