    Cleaning Windows 10 Backup Files


    Hello team,


    I would like to kindly ask if I could remove the folders as shown in the attachment and how to go about it?

    In short, I used the Update Assistant to download the May 2020 Update -

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

    Can I go to the File Location and delete everything?

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

  3. Trouble with Windows Backup.

    i cleaned (i.e selected) everything, I suspect it was my post SP1 installation auto-backup files causing the problem, cleaned over 1Gb of system files and then windows backup worked without a problem.
