Safe to delete SoftwareDistribution folder(s)? And how?
Hello.
Ive had a lot of problems installing the 1803 and 1809 updates, when they try to update they always gets reverted back to previous versions of windows. I think this, coupling with the fact that ive tried to do a lot of fixes to make windows update work, have made my SoftwareDistribution folders cluttered.
Ive got 3 of them:
SoftwareDistrbution
softwaredistribution.bak
softwaredistribution.bak1
(the 2 .bak folders are lowercase, not sure if thats important or not)
Each of these folders are taking up around 7 - 8,5 gb of space, at a total of 23,3 gb.
Id love to clear this space, as its a lot when im running a 128 SSD as my windows drive.
If anyone could give me some help in determining whether its safe or not to delete these folders, and if there's a proper way of doing it, would be awesome.
Also, if anyone have any ideas or solutions on how to make windows update work, that would also be welcome. I think my windows has failed in installing these updates for more than half a year at this point.
Thanks
