When each major update occurred, little ‘glitches; popped up. Most of them were so minor I didn’t notice them, although plenty of tech web sites were documenting problems.
After the last big update in April things changed. I noticed a lot of issues and some of them, while minor started to aggravate me.
I have an SSD with 256 GB. While I don’t download videos or hoard pictures, I do keep an eye on the amount of stuff using space on my hard drive. I was glad to see the new storage ‘Free up space’ option in the April update and ran the ‘Remove files now’ that would also remove all the files that were included for installing the update and could be removed. That ‘Windows.old’ could also be removed. Except it wasn’t, not totally.
After Windows finished removing stuff, and it did remove a lot, I checked and sure enough, ‘Windows.old’ was still there. Every time I tried to delete that folder I got this:
OK now what? A suggestion from my help group, CHAD, said to get Unlocker. That worked, but why did I have to get a third-party utility to delete a file? OK it was a 'ghost' file, but why was it there?
