I've had that a couple of times in the past Mike and it only happened if the Windows.old directory was empty.
Like you I ended up running Linux to get rid of it, however the first time I did it I forgot about emptying the Linux trash bin and ended up with a directory called trash in Windows.
Lol, I'll do it from a live Linux distro, should leave no trace. I had to upgrade some tools and Linux distros from 2 USBs I had them on but didn't get around to do it yet so they ere empty, just collecting some tools for them which isn't as easy as for windows. Those are mostly tools for work with HW (because Linux works with it more directly), file retrieving tools and some AV stuff.
Win 10 own disk cleanup app was unable to remove the windows.old left-over either.
