Hey Guys, just noticed a small annoyance on my PC after a format
It seems windows update has created 5 folders on my second HDD with random hexadecimal names and a folder inside called update or i386 that I cannot remove.
no matter what I try I always get an error saying access is denied
Google suggests they are temp files used by windows update that should have been removed after the updates were finished?
Any ideas on how to delete them?
EDIT: sorted it now
just had to take ownership of the folder and files inside the folder, then change the permissions to allow me full control of it
