Windows.old not auto deleting
Hi, after an upgrade how long should it be til windows.old deletes itself? I think MS keeps changing it around perhaps. My understanding was after 10 days. Version 2004 installed 10 days ago (10 days and 10 hours ago to be exact). I’ve turned the machine on this evening given it about half hour of idle time to do its thing but still no deletion. I know sometimes it doesn’t fully delete and can leave some residual small files behind but should be getting the 10-20 gigs back lost by the install. Yet that hasn’t happened . I know it can be forced via disk clean up but would prefer it to do it automatically. So I was curious. Maybe it needs a lot of idle time to do it?
