Deleting temporary system update files
I used a program (Greatis' StopUpdates10) to stop windows 10 updates for a long time. And I finally decided to restore updates. The system started updating and free disk space went from 35GB to 15GB and updates was only 50% done. So I stopped updates again and used Disk Cleanup to remove temporary files, free disk space became 25GB, there was a folder that wasn't there before, the folder was 10GB in size and located directly in the system drive (C:) named $WINDOWS.~BT . The problem is it can't be deleted, It requires permission from trusted installer . I tried the basic windows delete and trie
