Windows 10: What does "delivery optimization files" cleanup actually cleans in disk cleanup tool?

Hi,

What does the option "delivery optimization files" in disk cleanup tool clean?

On Win10 RS3 i could see Delivery Optimization files are created @ C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DeliveryOptimization and logs @ C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Logs\dovsc but these locations are not sued in RS4,RS5 looks like.Can some one shed more light on this?

thanks!

:)

 

Disk cleanup

For a single PC user with Windows 10 (no network), is there any reason why I can't delete all files suggested for deletion in the disk cleanup app including setup log files, system archived and queued windows error reports and delivery optimization files?

 

No disk cleanup?

shouldnt be disk clean up at tools tab
recycle bin for this drive is disabled. rclick on recycle bin -> properties->drive tab -> uncheck dont use recycle bin on this drive

 

disk cleanup

Hi joysoder, to properly and safely delete any files not required by your system, run Disk Cleanup twice as explained below. Each time select everything in the list and delete them. Disk Cleanup will not suggest deleting anything that is not safe to delete
. . .

Open File Explorer

Click on your hard drive

On the Manage Tab, click Cleanup

Let Disk Cleanup do its initial scan

Select Everything in the list and choose Delete

Start Disk Cleanup again

Let Disk Cleanup do its initial scan

This time in the resulting dialog, click 'Cleanup System Files'

Let Disk Cleanup run another scan

Select Everything in the list and choose Delete
