This morning, I came across a discussion among Windows users, and it seems there’s already an open secret about the latest Windows 11 24H2 update. The issue involves temporary installation files not being deleted after the update. Jacinto, for instance, encountered this problem on his daughter’s computer, and here’s what’s behind it.
The bug prevents the removal of temporary files through both the Storage Sense tool and the Cleaning Recommendations feature. This has raised concerns, as deleting these files is essential for freeing up disk space after an update. Users are understandably frustrated, as this oversight could lead to storage issues, especially on devices with limited space. Hopefully, Microsoft will address this bug in an upcoming patch.
Windows 11 24H2 does not display storage correctly.
After the Windows 11 24H2 update, many users, including Jacinto, have noticed that temporary files are not being deleted properly. Even after attempting to clean the system with Windows 11 tools, some users still see large amounts of space occupied by these files—8.63 GB in some cases, and up to 10 GB for Jacinto. This unusual behavior appears to be linked to an issue displaying the actual space used by installation files, which are crucial for the operating system.
Although Microsoft has yet to release an official statement about the issue, it is speculated that the bug could be related to the new checkpoint feature introduced in this version of Windows. These updates are designed to be more efficient by downloading only the modified files instead of the entire operating system, which could be causing this display error.
For now, users are advised not to attempt any unconventional fixes. It’s best to wait for an official solution from Microsoft. This bug serves as a reminder that even highly anticipated updates can come with unexpected problems. The tech community is closely monitoring the situation, awaiting a swift response from Microsoft.
As mentioned earlier, it seems to be a display issue related to the reported disk space usage, and Microsoft is already working on a fix. Stay tuned to our site for further updates and recommendations.
