    PendingRenames Folder


    OK guys anyone know how I can fix this problem. I have over 9500 files in this folder. windows/winsxs/temp/PendingRenames for about last 2 weeks now, TrustedInstaller won't remove them, Disk Clean doesn't even see them. So any ideas on how to get windows to take care of them??

    :)

    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"

    Well from what I have read, your PendingRenames folder should be empty. TrustedInstaller cleans that folder after updates are in installed. But......not mine.

    No problem I can have Full Control with the click of my mouse. But, I want to let windows remove them not me.
    This is one folder that you should let a windows command remove them.
