For instance, seeing an item link will send it to the cache for easier viewing in the future (sometimes if you fetch an item link through a macro it may not be able to retrieve the data from the server if the item link in question is not "there").
Deleting the cache will remove these records, though a new one will be created and populated through normal play. This makes item linking and clicking item links a lot faster and generally makes loading something like NPCs marginally quicker. Since the “windows.old” folder is a system folder, click on the “Clean up System Files” button appearing at the bottom of the window.I guess it wouldn't hurt to clarify what each of these really does:ĭeleting the cache will remove all in-game data that you have seen and has gotten cached for easier viewing in the future (sort of like Temporary Internet Files/Temp). Windows will show you some files you can clean. Once the Disk Cleanup tool has been opened, select the C drive from the drop-down menu and click on the “OK” button. Search for “Disk Cleanup” in the Start Menu and open it. Instead, you need to use the Windows Disk Cleanup tool. Though the windows.old folder may look like any other folder, you cannot delete it directly using the Delete key on your keyboard. If you are certain you will not downgrade, then removing this folder can get you back some much-needed C drive space. Often you can even copy user data and other settings directly from the “windows.old” folder to your new installation.Īs good as it is, depending on your user folder and installed programs, the “windows.old” folder can take a good chunk of your hard drive space. Since the folder houses all the essential files, it enables you to easily downgrade in case you don’t like the upgrade. This folder contains all the necessary data, files, and other settings of the previous Windows installation. It was introduced back in Windows Vista, and this folder is automatically created when you upgrade from one version of Windows to another, like from Windows 7 to 10 or when you install major updates like the Anniversary update.
