📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses freeing up space on Windows 10, with the original poster asking if they can downgrade to Windows 7 and seeking ways to delete files, including a large Windows10 folder. Respondents suggest using Disk Cleanup to remove previous Windows versions and disabling hibernation to delete the hibernate file. The overall tone is helpful, providing practical tips for freeing disk space but does not address the downgrade request directly.

Open the Disk Clean-up utility and click on 'system files'. Under the list check the box "Previous versions of Windows' if you recently upgraded and that should free up 10GB+

From an elevated command prompt type
Code: 
powercfg /H:off
that should remove the hibernate file if you have one which will be about the same size as the amount of RAM you have installed.
