According to PCWorld, during the installation process, the Windows 11 24H2 update created a huge cache folder weighing nearly 10GB that users could not delete.
Windows always creates a cache when installing Windows updates, so the existence of the cache is not a problem. It is considered a temporary storage for installation files. However, after applying the Windows 11 24H2 update, this cache cannot be deleted.
According to Windows Latest, users have tried to delete the cache through Control Panel but failed, it is still on the computer. Many people have also applied many other methods to delete the Windows update cache but failed. Currently, to delete this folder, users only have the only option left is to install a completely new version of Windows.
Microsoft is now aware of this bug. A patch will be deployed as part of an upcoming update to address the issue.
This isn't the only bug that's been reported in the Windows 11 24H2 update. Previously, the update was also reported to cause "blue screen of death" (BSOD). Another bug that's been reported in Windows 11 24H2 is the mouse cursor disappearing in text input fields in Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Slack, Spotify, and several other Chromium-based apps.
