Guide To Remove Windows.old on Windows 10Īs you can see my Windows.old directory uses 15.2GB of actual space on my hard drive. But for some reasons in Windows 10 (technical preview), the first time when you go to Disk Cleanup this option is nowhere to be found. To remove the Windows.old directory you need to go to Disk Cleanup and remove it from there by selecting “ Previous Windows Installations”.
While this is a welcome feature by Microsoft, you are also losing disk space ranging from a few GB to 25GB, which could be very precious on a Tablet like Surface or a SSD drive. The backup is stored under Windows.old folder of your root Windows OS partition. In Windows 10 Preview, every time when upgrading to a new build release, Windows will automatically keeps a backup of its existing OS prior upgrade so when things go wrong with the installation you can always have the option to rollback to the previous release.
