Should I delete a folder called Windows.old ??
Acer laptop, i3 CPU, M 370, 2.40GHz, 2.40GHz, 8GB RAM, 320GB HDD
Win10 x 64, Home, 1903, 24-06-2019, 18362.356
Another looong update 10-09-2019 or thereabouts
284GB occupied, 94GB free on HDD
Regular cCleaner and Auslogics defrag keep it all running as OK as can be expected. 7 years old.
Would like to clear out HDD, who doesn't? The likeliest folder looks like Windows.old @ 9.81GB but trying to rename it to xxxx.yy-DELETE-ME reports 'in use try later'. Is it really in use?
Should one just let sleeping folders lie? As long as they are not known data, eg., Lightroom Catalogue, MS Office work, etc.
