WindowsUpdate file keeps downloading and updating and doesn't stop

[scottster202]

I have an issue where the folder under local disk/Windows/ has the file "WindowsUpdate" and it's continues to keep updating and downloading data and the Temp folder in the Windows folder is downloading constantly and not stopping. My Crive or my main drive is being gradually smaller as the WindowsUpdate file keeps downloading and updating I went from 5GB local disk to 268 kilobytes, please let me know if you have any information or advice on this issue

stop windows updater..then delete the folder windows uses for the updates.
run disk clean up then ccleaner. make sure you clean up system files under disk clean up. if there been a few updates to windows that are a few gig in size to clean up.
