Can I delete Windows10Upgrade folder? I am looking for stuff to delete, so I can have more space. This folder is 3.26GB. I don't think it does anything other than taking space.

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.

!! 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?
