Hello,
I managed to get an upgrade to Windows 10 Pro on my Windows 7 machine, with it waiting to install. I did not wish to do this! I additionally managed to get it to not install and my updates no longer show it as available. I did also manage to get an ISO for later use.
I wish to delete the crashed install and it's files, such as the $Windows~* stuff shown below
Is there a tutorial to do this correctly or can someone assist?
Thank you for any assistance,

I show 2.93Gb in Windows Update Cleanup, can I dump that also or would it be better to let it be?
TIA

If you don't plan on wanting to uninstall any of the Windows Updates, then it's fine to delete it in Disk Cleanup.

One last thing I noticed that may be of concern, it was left over from the previous deletions,
The $Windows.~WS and subdirectories about 5.97Gb, keeper or not please?

Those are for the previous installation to be able to go back to if needed. You can delete them using step 24 below if you like.
