    Storage problems windows 10

    Hi Liam,

    You can safely delete $GetCurrent, that will give you back 3.9GB

    Everything else looks fairly normal . . .

    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.

    Hello *Smile

    I believe this folder is created during an upgrade. No harm done!

    i have also this folder on C:\............. i can remove or not ? What's your exact scope ?

    Inside this folder there's somethigs like a ISO of windows in a "media" folder............. in a "SafeOS" apparently there's some .cmd for post installation or somethigs similar..... also there's present a log whit date 08 Sept. 2016.

    I have also tryed to found by google..... there's so many thread on same forum but no of one can make a usefull answer to this question.

    And if yes........ i can simply deleted this folder by Explorer or need to use some tools ?

    *edit*
    a most recent thread whit similar question:
    [Newbie]can i/should i remove "C:\$GetCurrent"
