    Was "windows old" deleted after windows update?


    After a computer problem Windows11 had to be set up. Thereafter, all documents e.g. WORD and pdf files of the years 2021 to mid of 2023 could be found under windows old. After an update to current windows 11 version 24H2, all files of the years 2021 to mid of 2023 seem now to exist any more or at least I cannot find them anymore.Where all files stored under windowsold really deleted after the update to windows 11 version 24H2? Thank you very much in advance for your kind feedback.

    :)

    C windows installer folder - Delete?

    He can do symbolic link redirection and move the files in it to a different location. *Wink Was "windows old" deleted after windows update? ;)
    Better try it out in a virtual of first. Just a suggestion.

    Like:
    First move everything in c:\windows\installer to d:\installercache
    Then delete c:\windows\installer folder
    Then type this in command mode as admin
    mklink /d c:\windows\installer d:\installercache

    Removing those installer files is a bad idea. it might prevent you from updating or uninstalling apps.
