Delete Windows.old ?
I totally feel like I want to delete it, and I'll probably delete it regardless of what you guys say, but I still want to ask. Is there a reason why I should not want to delete it ?

Hello Marron,
If you performed a refresh of Windows 10, upgrade to Windows 10, or a custom install of Windows 10 on the same partition as the previous Windows installation without doing a clean install, then you will have a C:\Windows.old folder in your new installation afterwards. The Windows.old folder contains a copy of the previous Windows installation, and can be quite large in size.
The Windows.old folder is safe to delete if you do not want anything in it. :)

Well I deleted mine via disk cleanup. That said I make regular disk image backups.
So if you want to get the space back make sure you have a disk backup just in case.
I upgraded from Win 7 Pro and I deleted it with disk cleanup.
The one use I had for Windows.old was to create a ISO to use for additional or clean installs using the ESDtoISO tool. Now with the Windows 10 ISOs being published, that is no longer necessary so I delete it.
