Your WSUS server’s SUSDB has grown large, the console is slow, and the Content folder is consuming excessive disk space. You need to reclaim space and improve performance without losing necessary approvals. Which two actions should you perform?

Correct answer: Run the Server Cleanup Wizard (or Invoke-WsusServerCleanup) to decline expired and superseded updates and delete unused content., Reindex the SUSDB using the recommended WSUS database maintenance script (for WID or SQL Server)..
Why this is the answer
The Server Cleanup Wizard (or Invoke-WsusServerCleanup cmdlet) is crucial for maintaining WSUS performance. It declines expired and superseded updates, deletes obsolete update files, and removes unneeded computer accounts, directly addressing the issues of a large Content folder and slow console by reducing the amount of data WSUS manages. Reindexing the SUSDB, using the provided maintenance script, optimizes database queries, significantly improving console responsiveness and overall server performance. wsusutil.exe reset re-downloads all update content, which would increase disk usage, not reduce it. Enabling express installation files increases content size, as it stores more data for each update. Manually deleting files from the WSUS Content folder will corrupt the WSUS installation and prevent updates from being deployed.
