Content.bin Large File

This is taking all my space on C:\ drive.

Is it safe to delete it?

I disabled Delivery Optimization and... booooom!!! None of them is there.

If the path is C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\DeliveryOptimization\Cache....\content.binit is related with Delivery Optimization. Disable it if you don`t need cache files to distribute to connected PCS.

Or disable temporarily to delete very large files.

If you need this feature "on" you can adjust some limit settins in "Advanced Options".

Hi,

It's not recommended that you delete files that are located in the System folder as it may cause some issues in the system.

Hi there,

I understand that this is a system file and those should not be edited directly. However just like with other system files which have a potential to be large there is usually a way to stop them getting so big.

For example the recycle bin can be set to only hold a specific amount.

Is there nothing we can do to stop this file from getting quite so big?

Its in the Windows folder

Can you please let me know the file location? You can try to search it in the File Explorer.

Thanks.
