I have a rather large file taking up valuable space on my primary hard drive. I know that long ago perhaps on Windows 7 when that file appeared I just deleted it. That does NOT seem to work well with Windows 10. I tried going into Safe Mode to delete it, but that just got me into trouble and it did NOT do a very efficient job at that.

What is the best way to delete the "old windows" files? Perhaps there is some software will do it better and more efficient.

Suggestions are appreciated.

Windows.old folder ? Just run Disk Cleanup and mark it for deletion, same way it should be done with W7.
