I am on Build 26 100. 3476 24H2 It seems when I run Disk Clean up it is not deleting Windows Update Cleanup completely & leaving 190mb.
I have tried this in safe mode & run as administrator as well. I manually deleted contents of c:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder & no dice.
I also tried the DISM from other threads does not complete to 100 % & quits. I am not to concerned but just want to fix this as its annoying.

-Cheers!

Yeah, that"s a bug in 24H2. It shows that but it's not really there. If you want to clear it though: Go to Start-Terminal as Admin and enter: dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase. Let it finish and then restart--once restarted try disk cleanup again and you should be fine

Same bug here. This is just poor software engineeirng. Users should not need to use dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase whoich remove s the option to unistall previous updates.
