- First of all, stop the Windows Update service to avoid conflicts with files in the SoftwareDistribution folder. Press Win + R to open Run and type services. msc, and press Enter to open the Services window.
- Find Windows Update in the list of services, right-click, and select Stop.
- Once the service has stopped, open File Explorer and go to C: > Windows > SoftwareDistribution.
- Select all by pressing Ctrl + A, then press Shift + Delete. Confirm deleting the folder when asked by clicking on Yes.
- Taking these steps will help you resolve the problem without affecting your system.
