Windows 10: DeliveryOptimization, WindowsApps and WpSystem folders suddenly appearing in root of...

I have a secondary drive D: in my PC - it's a hard disk but it's not the system drive which is the C: drive. All of a sudden, after years of using Windows 10 on this computer, new system folders are appearing in the root of this secondary drive. The folders are DeliveryOptimization, WindowsApps and WpSystem.


There were also Program Files and Program Files x86 folders there too up until yesterday, until I took a chance and deleted them well, I moved them to a subfolder to see if anything broke. I know very well what the Program Files folders are for, but have no idea why duplicates suddenly appeared in the D: drive - the main versions are still where they should be on C:.


When I moved the DeliveryOptimization, WindowsApps and WpSystemfolders to the same subfolder as a test, but they just reappeared in the root of the drive again within hours.


Obviously some Windows system perhaps the Windows Store? has decided to target the root of my D: drive, for some reason, but I don't know what system, why or, most importantly how to fix it! Can anyone help?

DeliveryOptimization folder - why is it there?

Hi,

I noticed a couple of weeks back that a DeliveryOptimization folder appeared in the root of my data drive. I've made no changes to my Windows Update configuration and don't use the Delivery Optimization feature.

I can delete the folder but it reappears with seemingly no pattern.

Why is this folder appearing? Can I remove it permanently?

If not - can I move it to another drive?

Many thanks,

Sean
