After w10 ver 1809 update there is a new folder of 6.2 GB called "Windows old properties". Can we delete this?

Hi:

 

Yes you can delete that folder but if you do, you won't be able to roll back to v1803.

 

So, use W10 v 1809 for a while before you decide to delete that folder.

 

You can delete it by running the disk cleanup utility.

 

When the disk cleanup window opens, check the cleanup system files button on the lower left side of the window.

 

The utility will run again, and when the disk cleanup window appears again, you can check the boxes of the files you want to delete including the windows.old folder.

 

You can't just right click on the folder and delete it.
