Should I delete Windows.old for more space ?

[shadowknife0]

I just bought a new SSD and freshly installed Windows 10 on it (an old version) so after updating to the latest version, I found a folder named (windows.old)

Is it safe to delete it ? I don't really want to mess up anything so I don't have to install the windows again.

What about windows10 upgrade folder too ? It's not taking much space but should I leave it ?

Yes, but you can't just "delete it".
You have to go through Disk Cleanup to do it.

Thing is.... I go through disk cleanup and I don't find it. No previous windows installation option

Click the "Clean up system files" button.
Wait a bit while Windows scans for files, then scroll down the list until you see "Previous Windows installation(s)."
