I've never seen any ill-effects from deleting it. However you may want to run Disk Cleanup as Administrator, as well as check add/remove program for any Windows 10 Upgrade Assistants and remove them too.

There is no More, when I right click on C:
I an open Properties, and then do the cleaning up. Is that done as the Administrator?

!! from the start. Open the menu, Scroll down to "Windows Administrative tools", and click
Now. Right click the ."Disk clean up" - more.

That didn't work this time, the disk cleanup>clean system files didn't delete that folder, so I manually deleted it.

Btw, how to mark this thread as solved?
