that batch file doesn't really help much (and doesn't rebooting delete the temp files?), because it doesn't cleanup the folder that takes gigabytes of storage (18 gig on my system), the c:\windows\winsxs, mentionned earlier, or the windows restore points and service pack backup files. there is a gui for doing the same work as that batch file and more. To delete the windows restore points run "cleanmgr.exe", let that scan the disk, then go to the second tab of the UI at the bottom. The service pack backup files and temp file are on the first tab. But more realistically, if a windows 8 image is already fine, just go with that. :P
