[QUOTE="plat, post: 886114, member: 74969"] Hello, The_PrivaZer_Team. The folders I'm talking about are un-needed, they're blobs of goo on my little hard drive. :) The "Clean Windows Update" option was already checked, it had deleted the Windows.old folder previously via Disk Cleanup, without issues. This was a completely different folder, generated by using the Update Assistant. Also, a seeming duplicate, $Get Current, also in C\, contained the same amount of stuff and was not detected by PrivaZer. I also deleted this folder and regained 7 GB total. I tried to access what you had in your screenshot for Advanced Users and could not check Windows Updates there, it was greyed out and could not be enabled. Mind you, I don't have the subscription, just the donor version. And, it was already working as intended running under Basic User parameters. [spoiler][ATTACH type="full" alt="privoptions.PNG"]241553[/ATTACH][/spoiler] I deleted this folder myself after I posted here. Its size was briefly shown @ :21 in the clip I made and posted above: 3,424,814 KB or almost 3/12 GB. Unfortunately, I whacked the Recycle Bin on the desktop in order to preserve a clean desktop appearance. Which led me to ask whether PrivaZer is compatible with StartisBack or not. Because that's where my Recycle Bin now resides. Just to re-emphasize: the "For recycle bin" option was already checked off. Oh well. 😟 Far as I'm concerned, everything's OK. Was wondering, though, if my observations had any merit. Thanks for looking into it. 🙂 Edit: If Disk Cleanup doesn't recognize these folders (which I don't think it does), then I should not expect PrivaZer to. OK, so that partially resolves my question.
