I recently reinstalled windows vista and and found that my hard drive is becoming filled every time log in. I downloaded and installed WinDirStat and found a really bid chunk of disk space causing a lot its the Winsxs and I already know that I can't just delete them. I also heard that there are programs that will clean them. I never had a full b4 but if was anything like I heard will crash. can some one help me?

yes every day since it started and that file is expanding at a tremendously rate. I don't want to restart my computer unless I have to.

No, Winsxs is not a backup, it cannot be cleaned, compressed, or deleted. MS bloggers say it's full of hardlinks and smaller than it actually is, but that's seemingly bullshit. The best approach is just not to install a lot of applications and therefore reduce footprint, or format and use XP or something. You may be able to reduce its size by uninstalling applications too.

Well I deleted my .vdi image that was 10gb because I was planning on making another. Than will probably delay the expanding for a while since I already restart every quarter. Thanks for the help anyways guys.
