What Is the $WINDOWS.~BT folder in Windows 10? Can You Delete It?

  • $WINDOWS.~BT
  • Windows.old

Both folders after upgrading to Windows 10–both Windows.old and $WINDOWS.~BT folders, which contains your previous Windows installation.

Windows should delete these files to free up space after 10 days in the Anniversary Update or 30 days if your PC hasn’t upgraded to the Anniversary Update yet.

I connect the expiriences with new ideas. I have been passionate about computers and programming for 10 years. My first (micro) computer was ZX-Spectrum and the programming language was Basic. Since 2010, I have been programming professionally, objectively and functionally in monolithic and micro-service architectures. I am currently creating an ecosystem architecture at API foundation.
