Sometimes Windows 10’s update cache creates some issues. Like failed update installation or slow update downloads. So in these cases, we need to purge or clear all the Windows update cache to default so that it can work normally.
The update cache in Windows is stored in a special folder that stores the update installation files. It is located at the root of your system drive in C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download
There are several reasons why we need to purge the Windows Update cache:
- If you are running out of storage space on your computer, then you can instantly reclaim valuable storage space by deleting obsolete update installation files.
- If you are experiencing download or installation errors with Windows Update, then purging the update cache will delete corrupt update installation files and download them again.
