| 1441278 | 2017-10-29 23:46:00 | With Windows 10 ver 1709 is the Windows.old folder required to remain. I usually delete it with ccleaner but it wont remove this version. Also tried with disc cleanup but it wasn't in the list. |

| 1441280 | 2017-10-30 00:37:00 | Yep, tick 'system files' when you run disk cleanup - pretty sure it will be automatically removed after 30 days? Not 100% on that though. | wratterus (105) | ||

| 1441282 | 2017-10-30 01:54:00 | I hear what you are saying but it is not shown in the list of selectable items. If you run disc cleanup with everything selected as indicated you will find that windows.old is gone. |

| 1441285 | 2017-10-30 03:14:00 | Yep that brings up a window with another list, but the nearest items on it are: "Windows upgrade log files" 95.4 MB "Temporary Windows installation files" 380 KB |
