The $WINDOWS.~BT folder holds the files to change to Windows 10.

The randomly named folder is explained in this post:

Thanks for the response. I absolutely have no intention of upgrading this OS to Windows 10, so does it mean that I can get rid of '$WINDOWS.~BT'?...
I'll refer to the link regarding the other file.

Again, thanks-

Yes, you can get rid of the $WINDOWS.~BT folder.

I suggest that you use disk cleanup to do that.
Locate it by searching the Start menu...
...but start it via right click and run as admin.

I suggest that you use disk cleanup to do that.

Thanks, 'UsernameIssues'... I took care of both of them before reading this today. I set a restore point, took ownership, and deleted them. So far, no performances issues noted.

Thanks for your guidance-
