How To Clear Windows Update Cache and Fix Windows Updates [Tutorial]

Thats Crazy 7 years ago :(

I managed to delete over 10 GBs on my pc

i dont need disk clean up anymore then? also great tutorial :D

Great video sir

Thanks so much! Were those files important?

awesome!!!! thank thank you thank you!

From a dumm novice....when finished deleting the files, should we not return to Services to Start what we previously Stopped? Or is that not necessary? Thanks.

I've got a very small laptop using windows 10 and I've turned the updates of because the HD is so small, BUT i got stuck with 3/4 of an update when i turned off the updates.............this totally worked for me thx heaps!!!

Guys litreally this helps so much

If I have multiple DistributionSoftware folders, can we delete them all? Dang, Windows Update screws everything!

Idk but this look catchy bc your using a vm that is kinda suspiscous, i want more proof like do it on your main machine

4yrs late, but I would recommend everyone to do a shift + delete and not just a delete since the recycle bin still takes up some storage

Thanks brother

Thank u for the brief tutorial. It helped me a lot. Greetings from Sri Lanka.

thx :) very nice

so mine was almost 10 gb... Im assuming that was my issue

i realize this video is old and about win10 but...if you get a problem on win7 (Should work with win 10 also) where the update gets stuck if you can get to a dos prompt (F5 or F8 on boot) go to C:\windows\softwaredistribution\Download\install and delete contents..this will remove the pending update and this will allow you to start windows and will force windows to redownload the pending update

Thanks I Deleted 87 Gigabytes Thank You Man :D

Thanks man just cleared 8.41 gb cache

Remember to activate windows update again

fuck yes man screw windiws 10
