    $GetCurrent folder - Can I delete

    My windows.old folder disappeared today. From what I have read this is expected behaviour.
    But folder $GetCurrent is still there?
    I tried Disk Cleanup, but, there is no option for 'Previous windows installations'?

    So can I delete $GetCurrent folder? If so how? Right click> delete?

    Can i delete the %Getcurrent folder?

    Can the $GetCurrent Folder be safely removed?

    I deleted the $GetCurrent folder. Rebooted my computer and everything is working as it should so I guess the answer is YES you CAN delete that folder.
