    no don't delete it....it maybe a restore point.
    Win11 is buggy at the moment so in case u want to go back to stable version u will need it.
  • If you delete that folder, you won't be able to go back to Windows 10, if your Windows 11 is not working as expected. Additionally, that folder may have your files from Windows 10 which may be useful for you. So in short, don't delete Windows.old folder.

    So do not delete - because it will be automatically deleted after a few days, but the restore can only work if you have system protection enabled.
    Windows Old is useless after installing insider preview.
