Still, if you’re rethinking switching back to Windows 7 or 8 respectively, it’s quite important to keep this file and not delete it.Īnother similar folder is $Windows~BT which, on the other hand, stores major updates and installation files, so it’s also worth keeping. WS: Even though ‘WS’ stands for Windows Setup, it stores mostly configuration files and not the setup files. Windows should automatically delete these files to free up space after ten days in the (per 2017 article date) Anniversary Update, or thirty days if your PC hasn’t upgraded to the Anniversary Update yet. That media creation tool also creates a $WINDOWS.~WS folder that contains most of the Windows setup files. For example, if you download and run the media creation tool, it creates a $WINDOWS.~BT folder with a few setup log files. In fact, you’ll see both folders after upgrading to Windows 10–both Windows.old and $WINDOWS.~BT folders. It’s similar to the Windows.old folder, which contains files from your previous Windows installation. These files are used to downgrade to a previous version of Windows, or a previous build of Windows 10. (2017 article excerpts for WT-WS) On Windows 10, the $WINDOWS.~BT folder contains your previous Windows installation.
My first Search results for - $WINDOWS.~BT & ~WS.
