I thought I had an idea, but right now I'm clueless. Took 9x longer than usual and left a lot of garbage all over the place.

I'll try cleaning manually using the storage sense feature next.

UPDATE: Well that was useless. Saved 200MB. Still Gigabytes of useless data left.

I don't know your system's configuration, but if I were to face this issue, I would probably go for a repair install and try Storage Sense again. Sometimes an in-place upgrade can do wonders, and you probably know that more than most of us.

Yeah, I'll leave it over night.

I now know why it's so slow. It freaking decompress every update file there is and then deletes the unconpressed files one by one and finally deletes the comoressed one.

How horrible is that? It would take me 1s to delete the contents of SoftwareDistribution/Downloads folder and everything would be running smoothly still.

I believe the reason it takes so long, is because after it decompress the patch, it then merges it in the WINSXS data base and then will delete it and its not the speediest thing in the world. Note the cleanup also takes longer to complete with the each addition of a C.U.

I don't know to much about the WINSXS, but it supposed to contain everything that it would take to rebuild your complete system.

Try another cleaner like CCleaner... ?

NO! That would kill my system rather than solve my issue.

@slicendice Long disk clean-ups have long been reported on the forum and I've certainly had them run anwhere from 40 to 60 minutes in all versions of W10.

Anyhow... I just tried running a 'DISM- cleanup-store' command and that failed with an error message PLUS leaving me even less free space... now down to just 40.4Gb

I've just restored back to a disk image made before I updated and as expected, back to 42.7Gb free now. There is something odd with these updates imo this time around.

Yep, I saw FeedbackHub is full of such reports.

I doubt Disk Cleanup will become any faster with an in place upgrade. Since I have no real issues on my system, it's not worth the hassle.

You are probably right.

There is a slight chance that I haven't cleaned up my laptops in a while. I might be confusing my Insider VM cleanups with my main devices.

I must have a browse of the Feedback Hub and see what the latest reports are... thanks.

Now, more weirdness, this time on my x86 system. This PC uses a local account... so I have no idea what this message means.

From what I can see, this means your user account is corrupt. Two choices here:
1) Either you roll back to a previous state when the account used to work normally with a system image backup
2) Try to fix the corrupt user account with the following tutorial:

As one can see this latest CU doesn't bode well with many system configurations.

I have 1809 on a netblook. I just updated and it went fine.

When I ran Storage Space/Free up space now, it found 2.05GB of Windows Updates to cleanup. Took a long time to finish. I don't see that it yielded anything back to the hard drive space. It's about the same. Usually it gives something back. I restarted no change. I'll check it tomorrow.

My 12 year old Dell laptop took all the updates in and digested them just fine. No problems.

UPDATE:

New known issue added for KB4487044 on first post.

EDIT: Nevermind, Microsoft removed it again.

Thanks @IronZorg89

That's going to be one to look at for tomorrow
