    Will C drive and all files on the computer be deleted?


    Hello,
    I'm trying to reinstall/ upgrade my version of windows to the next version.
    I'm using the Media creation tool to upgrade my version of windows.
    These are the options I have. I cannot select any other options.
    Will this affect my files?

    C windows installer folder - Delete?

    He can do symbolic link redirection and move the files in it to a different location. *Wink Will C drive and all files on the computer be deleted? ;)
    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.

    deleting hard drive files

    Hi,

    May we know what type of file are you trying to delete? Would it be Office documents, media files, or picture files? If you're trying to delete files for free some space on your device. We suggest to perform a Disc Cleanup. Kindly follow the steps below to
    perform the task:

    • Type in Cortana Disc Cleanup
    • Choose the files to delete
    • Click on "Clean up system files"
    • Click on Ok

    For any concerns, don't hesitate to get back to us.

    Regards.
