Is it safe to delete C:\$Windows.~WS?

1

I joined Windows 10 upgrade program, but due to various reasons I decided to stay with Windows 8.1 and not upgrade. Now it seems, that I have a pretty big (almost 6GB) folder at C:\$Windows.~WS.

I ran disk cleanup tool, but it didn't remove this particular folder.

Yes you can delete that folder. I have decided not to upgrade as well and deleted both $Windows.~BT and $Windows.~WS folders.

Well, $Windows.~BT is removed automatically when you run disk cleanup tool. – stil – 2015-08-14T23:12:03.233

Good to know. I haven't used that in a while. – MC10 – 2015-08-14T23:12:43.687
