  1. No windows update cleanup


    Hello everyone,


    Today I updated my windows 10. There was an update of about 300 to 400 MBs. After installation 2 GB of the storage is utilized.


    So I ran disk cleanup but it is not showing "update cleanup" option which is always shown after updates and clean up to 2 gb Storage. Is it a bug or just a problem.


    Please guide me. What should I do? Restore point is not created.

    :)

    Hi,

    I realize the inconvenience you are experiencing with Disk Cleanup. I will certainly help you.

    As per your query, I would like to inform you that, it is safe to delete all the files with extension .tmp in the temporary files folder.

    I suggest you to try deleting the temporary file manually by the steps provided below and check if it helps:

    • Go to Windows key+ R and type
      temp
    • Select all of the files and folders within the Temp folder and delete.

    Please follow the below link to run disk cleanup:
