I have tried Both of these. The batch file - could not find file. The first one "previous Windows installation" was NOT listed.
BUT I know that the file IS there - listed in C: with Dir, seen during an antivirus scan, Windows.old Properties shows it as 29.3GB Read-only. Dated 29/8/2022. thanks for ALL the Different methods to fix this, But at this stage none of them work.

I upgraded to win 11 22H2 on September 21, 2022, and never delete windows. old folder. Now I just checked the C drive, the windows.old folder doesn't exist anymore. Has it been automatically deleted after so many days?
