This folder keep showing up whenever I tried to delete it which is extremely annoying. Is there a way to prevent it to happen or change the it to another desk?

I have already disable the Delivery Optimization services and it doesn't work at all.

    Hi ryuzu0u0,

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    Every time you receive an update, Windows 10 will automatically create a new DeliveryOptimization folder regardless of any settings you have changed.

    The only thing you can do is run Disk Cleanup on your C drive to clear out the contents of that folder.

    Is your folder located here: C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DeliveryOptimization
