Question WUDownloadCache takes up almost 200gb, what can I do?

[mikeg1251]

I found that almost 200GB of my second partition on the HDD, the D:, has this WUDownloadCache. From what I looked up, it seems to just be the cache for when windows updates. This is odd since my OS is on the C: so I'm not sure what this folder is doing on the D and why is it so big.

Any ideas what I can do about this? Cleanup didn’t target it.

Have you tried just deleting them? https://www.maketecheasier.com/delete-windows-10-update-cache/

You can use storage sense to delete unnecessary or temporary files from your device. ... Select the Start button, and then select Settings > System > Storage . Under Storage sense, select Free up space now

Thank you, I’ll try that! I just wanted to make sure doing so wouldn’t mess anything up, but it seems like it’s fine.
