]I just found where all my updates were located. However there are lots of folders and files.
Can I safely delete them as they take up lots of space?
The figure below shows how much is in the folder.
Thanks for any help.

You didn't get the image uploaded. Use the Go Advanced button just below the text box when you Edit your post.
Could not see "use advanced button
Thanks for help
Sorry, the Go Advanced is when you create the message. For the Edit scroll on down and choose Manage Attachments. Takes a bit of looking around on a page to find all the information.
Finally got the attachment into my message. Hopefully someone cant have an answer for me.

You mean exactly C:WindowsSoftwareDistributionDownloads contents inside download folder ? Can safely delete these, always do so number of days after installing updates. Also Use Disk Cleanup.
Yes that's exactly what I mean. Is it safe to delete all the folders and files inside the
C:WindowsSoftwareDistributionDownloads folder.
Yes, it is ! Do a Disk Cleanup also.
Just wondering if it is necessary to stop the "Windows Update Service and the Background Intelligent Transfer Service" before deleting the contents in the "Download" folder as I have seen this in another article, where the writer stops these services before deletion, then starts them up again all via command prompt.
