.NET developers: how clean up to 15 GB on your hard drive

I have a 128 GB Surface Pro 4, and I realized I had like 3 GB of free space left... mostly due to Visual Studio. It had VS2015 at one time, removing it to install VS2017 hadn&#x27;t removed all of the VS2015 parts completely either. And removing VS2017 left tons of stuff behind as well.<p>Apparently every time I updated VS2017, it would go install the latest Windows SDK and .NET Core version, leading me to have a solid handful of each. The uninstaller seems to not be aware of all the various bits and bobs the installer adds, and doesn&#x27;t even ask you if you want to remove them.

Careful with this, I believe if you target .net core 2.1 and you have 2.1 and 2.2 installed, and remove 2.1 then you&#x27;re code will NOT run.
