Windows Update temporary files

Question

when i look to my storage, i notice that there is a ton of used space that was not there before in the temporary files section. 10 gigabytes of storage had been filled up under the name "updates" however, it is not in a check box and i am unable to delete this. I do need these 10 Gigabytes for personal use and I would like to remove it.

Good Day MrMantis,

My name is Carlo, I am also using Windows 10 pc and community member like you. Let us work together to sort this out.

You can visit this link as reference on how to perform disk cleanup.

You can use the tool called Treesize to check what are the apps or files taking most of your storage space.

Here's the link to download.

Once downloaded and installed, open the app and identify what are the apps or files taking most of your storage space.

Check the things you don't need, right click on it and hit "Delete" to free up space.

Once done restart your computer and check.

I hope the information above helps. Please let me know how it goes.

Have a wonderful day ahead and stay safe.

Sincerely,

Carlo T.
