    PendingRenames folder issue


    Ok have had this problem before, was able to fix it last time. This time nothing I do removes these files. Tried Disk Clean, Dism, forcing TrustedInstaller to run, nothing works, even after installing our latest update today, didn't remove these files. Right now its size is 1.3GB. Folder is located in Windows\WinSys\Temp Anyone got some slick way to get windows to fix these files???

    :)

    Windows\Win sxs\temp\pendingrenames

    My Folder Win sxs \temp\pendingrenames (4.9gb) contains 69,248 files;most of them are dated september 29 2017 and dec 12 2017

    Is it possible to reduce/eliminate these files

    Error code 0x80073712 windows update

    Thanks for the reply Gerry,

    Both folders exist and are in the correct location. PendingDeletes is empty while PendingRenames has 874mb worth of files in it. I ran the SFC in safe mode for a third time and it still failed at 96% with the error "Windows
    Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation"

    PendingRenames folder issue

    I ran Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase and then rebooted and that removed them for me today (dism without reboot didn't remove them).

    In the past I've tried installing telnet client through windows features and not touching the PC for 20 minutes (this is supposed to trigger the TI worker job) but it seems you tried something similar already...

    Yup tried installing telnet....waited 15 mins...nothing. Also used net start to run trustedinstaller, waited 15 mins...nothing.
    I'll try your suggestion for Dism.....

    Michael, that directory does not exist on my machine. It has always been here, even back to Win 7. C:\WINDOWS\winsxs\Temp\PendingRenames

    *Confused
