I understand that the LCU packages under Windows/servicing are copies.   In Windows/settings/updates/history they give some instructions on how to delete these.  I've found them incomprehensible and a  search of Windows Forums reveals that no one seems to have ever got any clear advice.   I've taken to just deleting the folder contents a few days after each cumulative update (ie if all is running at its usual standard) but I presume that using a command line would clean it up more thoroughly and maybe much faster.  The part that has me perplexed is in finding the "path" - presumably those of us with 32gb devices may have succeeded in freeing up around 600MB after each update and if any such have succeeded I would be appreciative of getting the details; as presumably would others whose devices show between 800MB and 2GB free ( without any additional or removed items).

Numerous attempts with variations of the numerous Command lines stated on the "net" seemed to result in the keyboard becoming inoperative and none of the usual (reinstall drivers etc.) worked; so I re-set Windows and wiped all my personal files; nice to start again with plenty of space.

Hi @DECH.

Thanks for taking the time to create a post here. It looks like this thread is resolved.

Feel free to visit again!

UPDATE:  Tried with the latest (which was a repeat of the one removed earlier!  and it was not deletable by any means (System file) don't know whether this is an unusual or even unique event.   Microsoft's documentation indicates that it can be deleted so it may be a one off and they haven't corrected the general guidance.   All in all it's a lot of work just to delete about 700 mb per month so I think I'll give up on it.

Hi,

I understand your frustration. It can indeed be a lot of work to free up space, especially when dealing with system files.

Best regards.
