How to delete temporary files
After canceling a Windows update, I discovered this large file, which initially was 33.3 GB. I deleted the update files in the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download folder according to the instructions on the Internet, but there are still 8 GB left and I don't know where they are... I have a bit of data OCD and want to solve this problem completely, so please help me, thank you.

It’s understandable to want to clear up all remaining update files, especially with data OCD. When you delete files from the WindowsUpdate download folder, some residual data or system files may still remain, and Windows may hold onto space for future updates or cache.
