deleting that folder can be possible, from where did you get the installation of windows 10? it depends on that too.

why? can you explain

Did you do something like this?

I don't think you can delete that file and its strange its even showing as I would have expected folder to be hidden by default.

Well, I tracked down what's causing the ETL file to update every day. It's coming from a task in Task Scheduler called Microsoft Compatibility Appraiser which belongs to the Customer Experience Improvement Program except that I opted out of that when I first bought the laptop in February last year.

So it would seem that M$ has just chosen to ignore users wishes and send telemetry data every day regardless.

Just disable the service.

Just a general question:

The offending folder is on the D: drive (Western Digital) - could the folder just be some residual leftover from a backup or other process (either end user created or automatically launched)?

In which case, I would hope, its presence would be moot.

That's my thought, and might also explain it's unhidden nature. If it does not change at all over a period of say a month with installs etc. then it is probably redundant.

Windows hides folders it recognizes as system folders even if they not in use. I have a 92gb system restore folder on my 2nd hdd left over from last install and its hidden on that drive. I just know its there as defraggler refused to defrag it for a while.

So it might be a left over but it still is strange its showing.
