    I have a hidden folder on my C: drive called $Windows.~WS that's 6 GB large after my Windows 10 upgrade.

    disk clean and ccleaner even with system files removal didn't remove it, so I'm wondering if it's safe to manually delete it:confused:

    I think it's a temporary folder created when you upgrade from DVD, i deleted it and no problem so far for the moment

    i rename the folder name , add "111111" to the end of the name, so far all ok , if anything will be wrong i can always change it back , removing the "11111" :D.

    will give it some time after than will delete the damn big fat ass folder :D
