I forced the windows 10 update but before it worked, it failed multiple times, each time downloading the update again. I noticed my drive has less free space on it now, is it just from windows 10 or are the old update files still there? If the old files are there, what is the directory? Thanks.

Yes, the old OS files are still on your computer, in case you want to revert. If you want to delete it you need to open the disc cleanup utility, click clean up system files, and select the previous windows files to be deleted
