Could not see "use advanced button
Thanks for help

Sorry, the Go Advanced is when you create the message. For the Edit scroll on down and choose Manage Attachments. Takes a bit of looking around on a page to find all the information.

You mean exactly C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Downloads contents inside download folder ? Can safely delete these, always do so number of days after installing updates. Also Use Disk Cleanup.

Yes that's exactly what I mean. Is it safe to delete all the folders and files inside the
C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Downloads folder.

Yes, it is ! Do a Disk Cleanup also.

Just wondering if it is necessary to stop the "Windows Update Service and the Background Intelligent Transfer Service" before deleting the contents in the "Download" folder as I have seen this in another article, where the writer stops these services before deletion, then starts them up again all via command prompt.
