| 1449190 | 2018-05-03 12:27:00 | And MS were too lazy to add the windows.old folder, in disk cleanup so you could remove it. I couldn't remove it, unless i changed from system to myself to delete it So, I did a clean install instead. And I was wrong with the above. You have to change the service to auto after updating to 1803 as well. To see the shared folder |

| 1449193 | 2018-05-03 23:14:00 | My Windows.old folder is there. Can I just delete it? If you have run "System disk clean up" that folder will be empty so there is no point worrying about it. |

| 1449195 | 2018-05-04 01:20:00 | I had a bit of a problem removing windows.old, so I booted Puppy Linux and deleted it, no problem. | mzee (3324) | ||
| 1449196 | 2018-05-04 02:53:00 | Yup thats what I ran. Didnt have anything like that in it Just checked one I did yesterday, this is how it went -- Run disk Cleanup - Select System Files Scroll down this is what was there. 8810 Once its been run once the Previous OS options are gone until next time it upgrades. |

| 1449197 | 2018-05-04 03:07:00 | Nope. Just checked the 3rd PC that I upgraded to 1803. Previous windows isnt there either | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1449198 | 2018-05-15 13:41:00 | Actually Microsoft on this: "Haha, classic". I noticed that there's better not to trust Win updates right after 7-to-10 update got my HDD formatted, so now I'm storing all my documents in Box, in order to share them between devices. Sme work papers, tax forms, all this stuff. And speaking of pdf's exactly, there are lots of solutions to work with them, edit and store safely nowadays: Acrobat XI, some tools like Foxit, I use this one [edited] fits nice for all those pieces of paper you fill every tax period, but has some pretty good editor as well. But this thing with totally replacing homegroups with File Explorer is a frustrating move - I try to cast a movie to the second laptop and it pops up with an error all the time! | jackthelad (17612) | ||
| 1449199 | 2018-05-15 21:53:00 | My Windows.old folder is there. Can I just delete it? Its there for a reason. Its so you can rollback to the previous 10 version/build Win should remove it eventually. Supposedly . No point getting obsessed with it. Stop fiddling . Just ignore it unless you are desperate for more HD space :) |
