The Windows.old file can be safely removed. A side effect of doing that is an inability to revert to a previous build.

Just remember you can always make a Win 10 USB with this https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 creation tool.

These procedures can delete Old Windows Installs better known as Windows.old. If you have recently upgraded Windows and you want to go back to a previous build, deleting the Windows.old file will make that impossible.
