Hello there.

I was just revisiting a discussion about the contents of the SWSETUP file and whether or not one could clean in up or delete it. The reason I went looking for an answer is that mine has slowly grown to 18GB on my 128GB SSD C drive. No problem in itself so far, but one day maybe.

I read, with interest, the opinions from you sages, and as it was 2018 since the string was created, so thought I would check what the current wisdom is.

I note that software updates manually downloaded from HP, and not obtained using the HPSA, also appear in this file.

So - what's the best thing to do with the contents of the SWSETUP file?

Regards to all. T from P.
