The reason setup saves these files is so that if something goes wrong during setup, it can safely rollback to the earlier version of Windows. However, if your upgrade was successful and you\u2019ve got everything working perfectly, then there\u2019s no need to keep these files. You can reclaim all the wasted disk space by following these simple instructions.<\/p>\n<h3>Here is How to Free Up Disk Space After Windows 10 Version 1703 Upgrade:<\/h3>\n<div class=\"w10steps\">\n<ul>\n<li>STEP 1: Press <img src=\"http:\/\/info.greatis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/win-r-combination.png\" alt=\"win-r-combination\" class=\"responsive-img\" \/> shortcut keys together on the keyboard to open the Run dialog.<\/li>\n<li>STEP 2: Type <i><b>cleanmgr<\/b><\/i> in the Run box.<br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/info.greatis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/windows-10-run-cleanmgr.png\" alt=\"windows-10-run-cleanmgr\" class=\"responsive-img\" \/><\/li>\n<li>STEP 3: Select your system drive (if necessary).\n<\/li>\n<li>STEP 4: Click the <i><b>Clean up system files<\/b><\/i> button to switch the Disk Cleanup tool to extended mode.<br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/info.greatis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/windows-10-clean-up-system-files.png\" alt=\"windows-10-clean-up-system-files\" class=\"responsive-img\" \/>\n<\/li>\n<li>STEP 5: Find and check the <b><i>Previous Windows installation(s)<\/i><\/b> item.
