    3gb .esd file in a folder named "Windows10Upgrade" in C:\


    There is a file named 18362.30.190401-1528.19h1_release_svc_refresh_CLIENTCONSUMER_RET_x64FRE_en-us.esd, which is likely the 19h1 update file suggesting the name. However, I am on 21H1. For reassurance, can this file be deleted safely?

    :)

    Windows10Upgrade Folder

    I was updating new version of windows 10 using windows10upgrader assistant. After 80-90% of updating process due to my internet connection failure, the updating process stopped but a ESD file was left
    in the windows10upgrade folder. This ESD file size is nearly 3.5GB that seems too much to me and so I moved it into disk-E because I was suffering from disk-C storage shortage already. I want to delete only the ESD file permanently from disk-E as well. Is
    it completely safe to delete? Is there any negative issue in deleting the file? [Note: After a few days, my pc automatically updated the new version. But the ESD file stayed]

    Windows10Upgrade Folder on C:

    Hi,

    Have you already uninstalled Windows 10 Upgrade Assistant? The Windows10upgrade
    folder was generated by Windows 10 Upgrade Assistant during an update. If you are satisfied with the update and your system is operating fine, you can safely remove this folder by uninstalling the Windows 10 Upgrade Assistant.

    • In the search box on the taskbar, type Programs and Features, then select
      Programs and Features from the results.
    • Look for Windows 10 Upgrade Assistant in the list, right-click on it, and select
      Uninstall.

    If the Windows10upgrade folder remains after uninstalling the upgrade assistant, you may manually delete the folder in File Explorer.

    If you need further assistance, please do not hesitate to post a reply.

    3gb .esd file in a folder named "Windows10Upgrade" in C:\

    ESD Folder

    Someone somewhere should be able to enlighten me with the purpose of this folder. From what little I know it got created from my last force-able download from Windows 10. Somehow many of my normal files disappeared from my C Drive and I am now trying to
    copy and paste from the ESD folder. Windows does not support any help with this and suggested I find a good company to try and fix this horrendous problem.

    My simple question is when Windows decides to drop another new installation does it delete the existing files located in my ESD file?

    Does it then create new files into an empty ESD folder?

    Any help or knowledge would be so appreciated before I go crazy.
