    WUDownloadCache - why in a partition containing only data files?


    The other day, I noticed that both desktop and laptop systems had this new folder, WUDownloadCache, which appears to be where Windows Update stores downloaded files. For both systems, this new folder is on the D drive. Is it OK to delete this folder entirely? If not, can I configure Windows to put this folder inside my C:\temp folder?

    I organize all my systems with Drive C for Windows and programs, nothing else. D is most data files, and E is media files like photos, music, videos, etc. I don't store any system files on D or E. The D drive on my desktop is low on space, and in any case, I would want this cache in my C:\temp directory.

    If it matters both the desktop and the laptop are on 1809, but I'm planning to do manual updates soon to 1909.

    What can I do?

    :)

    W7 Hard drive partition issue

    to get rid of that 100 meg windows partition that setup creates for you on a new install on a blank hdd:

    - press shift+f10 when on the partition management screen in setup <-- this opens a command prompt
    - diskpart <-- start the windows command line partition management tool
    - list disk <--- list the installed hdds in this computer for the next step
    - select disk 0 <- might have to replace 0 with the number of the correct disk
    - clean <-- this will erase all data on the disk you selected one step up- dont use the wrong disk!
    - create partition primary <- creates a primary partition taking up all space on the drive, adjust the command if necessary
    - exit, exit to exit diskpart and the command prompt
    - click refresh in partition manager and select your newly created partition and install to that
