Besides simply right clicking on the file and selecting delete, is there another way to delete the windows.old folder? Manually deleting the folder has proven to be rather tedious as I have to take ownership of the all folders and files and then delete as admin.

Note: I'm not looking for the solution of taking ownership and deleting the windows.old folder. I am looking for any solutions that are easier and unique to Windows 10.

Following these steps should remove the contents from the windows.old folder:

  1. Select Start, then Settings
  2. Select Storage
  3. Select Temp Files
  4. Delete Previous Versions

This appears to be still a little buggy however, and takes some time if you have a large file size.
