These folders are created by Windows, during the upgrade process.The question now is – Is it safe to delete these $Windows.~BT and $Windows.~WS folders?"Read the whole article:Can I delete $Windows.~BT & $Windows.~WS folders after Windows 10 upgrade?(by thewindowsclub) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalju Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Yes you can, if the update is made. This is a temporary file and is used only once.The next time will be made a new, if it is needed.If you have CCleaner and / or Wise Care 365 with correct settings, it is automatically deleted. If not, is Your choice - will You delete it or not, but it is useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CODYQX4 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 You can even remove it with old-fashioned "Disk Cleanup". No 3rd Party software needed.But I've never had an issue removing those, and Windows.old manually, barring fighting NTFS permissions to do so.EDIT: You have the option to do that AFTER the upgrade (Disk Cleanup). You might have to remove it yourself and suppress the GWX app to prevent it coming back, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
