I'm probably missing something, but... On my Win10 machines I can go to C:\Windows\servicing\LCU and run "del /q /s *.*" to clear the directory. This is from an admin account running CMD in admin state. When I do the same thing on my one Win11 system all I get is "access is denied" for every file. I sure don't know what I'm doing wrong. Any thoughts?

You may be doing nothing wrong. At a guess, it's an ownership issue. I don't know why it'd be different between 10 and 11, though.

This will clean everything out of the LCU folder, except the last (newest) folder...

Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup
