There are other temp directories you can clean

c:/windows/Temp

c:/windows/temp/softwaredistribution


My copy of Windows 7 Home Premium does not have this directory. I
believe you meant

"C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution"

I have 881,877,855 bytes in 30 files and 32 dirs under this one. Are
we sure that it's okay to delete all of them. This won't for example,
cause Windows Update to take many hours next time I run it?


As for Software Distribution: There is a help file from MS that
directed me to delete that folder when I had an error doing a upgrade to
new build on the INsider preview version of 10. Then I was able to run
the get updates and the upgrade worked perfect.

So it should be okay. You sure there is close to a Tera Byte of data
there? Wow.
