How to reclaim space after upgrading to Windows 10 2024 Update (version 24H2)
If your PC is using more space after upgrading, it's likely because of the previous setup backup. Here's how to get rid of it.
On Windows 11, during the installation process to the Windows 11 2024 Update (version 24H2) using an in-place upgrade, the system creates a backup of the previous setup to revert the process in case a critical issue occurs.
However, even after the installation, the files are kept inside the "Windows.old" folder, taking around or more than 20GB, which could be significant for devices with limited capacity.
If your computer is low on storage after installing the 2024 Update, Windows 11 includes multiple ways to reclaim most of the lost storage using the Settings app and Disk Cleanup.
