  1. IS it safe to delete delivery optimization files?


    I wanted to clear up some space in my C drive. There's an option to delete delivery optimization files in settings>temporary files which was taking almost 2.5GB of my space. Is it OK to delete it or not?

    :)

    Delivery Optimization Files

    Hi TotalingBanjo62

    Rest assured, you can safely delete those Delivery Optimization files without any fear of harming Windows, in fact you should run Disk Cleanup twice as explained below, and delete everything in the lists, because Windows will not suggest deleting anything that
    can harm your PC

    There is one exception to this rule, in version 1903 of Windows 10, your Downloads folder was added to the Disk Cleanup process by default, if you store files in that folder, either move those to another folder for long term storage, or untick the downloads
    folder in Disk Cleanup . . .

    Open File Explorer

    Click on your hard drive

    On the Manage Tab, click Cleanup

    Let Disk Cleanup do its initial scan

    Select Everything in the list and choose Delete

    Start Disk Cleanup again

    Let Disk Cleanup do its initial scan

    This time in the resulting dialog, click 'Cleanup System Files'

    Let Disk Cleanup run another scan

    Select Everything in the list and choose Delete

    Delivery Optimization Files

    Hi,

    So in My C drive, the Delivery Optimization Files occupied 35 GB after the update on 12th may and I am wondering if it is safe to delete the file via Disk cleanup or shall I just leave it?
