Once the upgrade has taken place, the Windows.old folder is present. NOTE: Once this folder has been deleted, Windows cannot be reverted back to the previous version. ![]() I fixed this by adding logic that looked for the Windows.old directory. This caused the system to reboot constantly because it then did not see the Windows.old directory to delete. and installed the SMSTaskSequence on that drive instead of the bootable C: drive. NOTE: There is an issue we ran into when someone had a USB drive connected. Here is a pic of the failure to clean up the Windows.old folder using a domain admin account and cmd.exe run as administrator. The Windows.old folder was still present. I also tried using Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup. Another suggestion was using task scheduler. I also tried using PSEXEC to execute it with the same results. It never deleted the folder and was stuck at zero CPU usage. Cleanmgr.exe /AUTOCLEAN would open up cleanmgr.exe and then freeze. There is not a PowerShell option for controlling storage sense. Cleanmgr.exe is now deprecated as of Windows 10 2004. At the end of the upgrades comes the cleanup and there is no clean way to do this for system admins. ![]() It is the beginning of 2021 and my first project for the new year is upgrading all systems to Windows 10 20H2.
