    Hi GuglyBu,

    Seeing as how my installer folder is huge, I ran across this thread, which suggests some methods of reducing the size of installer folder. In particular, I've seen the PatchCleaner option and Compressing the folder option.
    I have never tried or done this myself so I don't know what the implications of it are.
    Perhaps someone who has done this or has knowledge of it will be able to shed some light!

    I hope this helps!

    After some further reading, I have decided to compress my installer folder. It freed about 6GB and now I have a total of ~31.5GB free space (see screenshot), which I believed should have been enough, but disk cleanup still terminates without freeing anything...

    At this point I don't know what the problem is and how to continue from here. I'm up for any ideas...

    I'm curious to see what the SURT tool finds!
    Try running it and post logs: The logs are temporary in that location.

    I thought it was, it's a 2015 KB
    Short of larger SSD, Restore to Factory state or Repair Install, then as the updates are installed run disk cleanup as you go, or deleting some of the Toshiba junkware, I'm out of ideas. But as you said, it just prolongs the inevitable, lack of disk space.

    I have a couple of these in my older laptops, $69 US
