Windows 10 Disk Cleanup - Shows 3.99 TB of Updates to be Cleaned

[Ketchup]

This one has been around for a little while, but I first ran into it today on the desktop and 2 Virtual Machines. No word on when a fix will be released, but no real danger found in the error either.

I reported that quite a while ago and it's happened several times since. Just delete the files as usual. The clean time is longer but all files will delete. The size has been associated with a large update which, the system says, requires storing a duplicate of each updated file. But that seems ridiculous as well.

I get this all the time in Win10 on my 256gb SSD. It's funny you made this thread because I just installed a rather large cumulative update and I always run disk clean up after and guess what......yep it happened again.

I've seen it. Doesn't seem to really matter or affect anything.

Do not ask why 3.99 TB.

Just run Disk Cleanup when it comes up click on Clean System Files (down left).

When the moving bar gets to the end (near the word cancel), let Run for a while.

If after 15 Min it does not terminate by itself ClickCancel and re-Run again the App. The second time it will finish and self terminate.
