    Over 9 GB in windows update cleanup files


    Hi,


    I'm aware that Windows keeps windows update cleanup files for a period of time before deleting them, but there were over 3 GB for over a month and now the number is 9.32 GB. That's a lot of space being used.


    Is there a safe way to resolve this?


    Thank you.

    :)

    Windows Update and Disk Cleanup

    Hi,

    The file size depends on the specific update that your system is trying to install.
    To help us determine the appropriate troubleshooting steps that can resolve your concern, we'd like to ask the following questions:

    • What is the build and version of Windows that you’re using? To check, type
      winver in the Search box and send us a screenshot of the information window.
    • Can you provide us a detailed information of the files that accumulate 3.08 GB? If possible, can you give us a screenshot of it when running the Disk Cleanup utility?

    We look forward to your response.

    Cannot Cleanup Temporary Internet Files

    Recently when running Disk Cleanup on my Windows 10 Surface tablet, there are 1.10 GB of Temporary Internet Files listed under Files to delete. Checking this box and clicking OK does not remove them.

    I also notice these same files listed when I when I run Clean up system files. I am not able to remove these file here either.

    When I click on the Temporary Internet Files and select the View files button, Disk Cleanup opens the AppData > Local > Microsoft > Windows > INetCache > IE folder with only the message "This folder is empty" displayed. The IE folder properties lists 3
    files and 1 folder and the Attributes Hidden is checked. Unchecking the Hidden attribute does not return any files.

    Windows 8 was originally installed on this Surface Tablet and I upgraded to Windows 10 last September. Automatic updates is turned on.

    I welcome suggestions for resolving this issue.

    Thanks!

    Over 9 GB in windows update cleanup files

    Disk cleanup don't cleans Windows Update Cleanup.

    Here are the answers to your question:

    • No, I haven't made any updates or changes but I think it is of Creators Update but there was no file named "Windows Update Cleanup" till some weeks or months, I just noticed after the day when I posted this thread.
    • No, I don't get any error message.
    • No, I haven't tried any troubleshooting steps.
    Sorry for the late reply.
