Day 43 [Research: "Why is my computer slow?" - Day 5]

The question that was asked in the pdf was, 'Is it safe to delete Windows Update files?', and the answer is yes. As a person who likes to keep their PC as clean as possible, I would most likely do this. To be able to do this safely though, you should not have any problems with up to date update. If there is no problem then you go and delete any files in the subfolder stored in 'C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download,' however do not delete the folder itself. When upgrading Windows, you can have all your previous data if you choose not to format the HDD. It should most likely be found in a folder called windows.old. If you choose to however to start out fresh with nothing but the installation of the OS, then just format it or delete the 'windows.old' folder. Also, if you want to customize your computer by having other than an image of a folder for a folder you can do so. By doing this, you simply right click on the folder and go on to the properties of it. After doing so you will see an option that will allow you to change the icon of the folder.
