When you upgrade your PC's operating system like windows 8.1 to windows 10, then the old version in your PC doesn't completely remove. It sits down on your hard drive like an unwanted guest and uses hard drive space, memory and RAM. It sits in a system folder called windows.old. In this article, I'm gonna show you complete step by step that how easily you can erase windows old folder from your windows 10 operating system. 

No matter in which device you operate your windows. It's a desktop computer or it's a laptop. The theory is the same. 

Turn on your computer. When Windows finishes loading and is ready to work, do the step by step process given below.

#Click on My computer and then click on C Drive. 
#There is a folder called 'Windows.old'. It's occupying almost 17 GB of space if you right-click on it and watch its properties. 
#If you try to remove it by deleting it, It doesn't get removed and asks for administrator permission to get erased from the system. 
#Right click on the folder and open 'Properties' dialogue box. It will take 4-5 minutes to load the folder's size.
#Click on the 'Security' button. 
#Click on the 'Change' icon (Next to the 'System' button).
