    Delete Folder in Software Distribution?


    In January my PC downloaded the 24H2 update and I was asked to restart to update. As I was having major reboot issues, I did not want to install the update at this time, and found a way to block the install and stay on 23H2. I presume that the present build of 24H2 is more up to date than the one sitting in my Windows/SoftwareDistribution/Download folder. Can I just delete the folder bd2fd75ed2b416e740d1e4c4f9a273a5 11GB and get windows update to download the latest build of 24H2. Disk clean up only removed some temporary files $Windows~BT on the C drive.

    :)

    Delete Folder in Software Distribution?

    Software to monitor a folder, backup, then delete?

    Is there such a software that will allow the monitoring of a folder to not only backup, but also delete the data? For example, if I was to have a netbook, and it has the built-in card adapter for my camera, I can just copy all the files over to the netbook in a specific folder (ie, ::Temp Pictures), then the next time it connects to the internet/network it will search the folder for any new files, copy them over to my main PC, then delete the Temp Pictures data?

    I've been looking into doing this, googling and whatnot, and it seems like there are a LOT of options for monitoring folders for updates, new data, copying, etc, but I haven't quite found one that allows you to delete after copying.

    Thanks! *Smile Delete Folder in Software Distribution? :)
