Hello everyone 005.gif

a few weeks ago I updated windows from 1809 to 1903, Via Windows 10 Update Assistant.
But the cache is still there (70.2 GB), i try to clean it using Disk Cleanup/TuneUp/CCleaner, but it doesn't affect it. 
if it is safe to delete manually/by force?

and the second question ;
how to set up so that Storage Sense can work on another drive?
Because my PC uses an SSD for system (C),HDD for files (D) and another SSD for files (E), but in the Storage Sense section, it can only be activated in (C)

Thank you 002.png

If you run Windows disk cleanup, did you also go to advanced and check the appropriate settings in there? At the least it will delete the old OS backup, not sure from memory if there is also one for the install files. I'm 99.99% sure it is ok to manually delete any install files.

If you click "clean up system files" does that show any more options for that drive?

 

Also, 70GB sounds excessive to me. The install files should be much smaller than that. I suspect there are other files in there and I'm not sure how safe it would be to manually delete this.

Staying on the 1st tab, are there any more options after "clean up system files"?
