    Windows Update Cleanup doesn't get purged in temp files storage settings


    Hello.After the 23H2 version Windows update Windows 11, I'm not able to delete the previous update files which were always safe to be removed by Windows.I would simply do that by going into Storage Settings of Windows. Then Temp Files and then Windows would list all the files that were safe to be removed and it always included "Windows Update Cleanup" which would take up to 7 GB of space of my Windows drive which is my C drive in this case.You can check out the attached image.The previous times I could simply get rid of that excessive 7.68 GB of space by simply clicking on "Remove files" but

    Windows Update Cleanup doesn't get purged in temp files storage settings

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:

    Does it mean my HDD is useless?
