SoftwareDistribution mappe placering

Softwaredistributionsmappen i Windows 11/10/8/7er^{(Software Distribution)} placeret på følgende placering i File Explorer :

C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution

På min computer er størrelsen omkring 1 MB, men størrelsen kan variere.

Er det sikkert at slette SoftwareDistribution -mappen

Selvom du ikke ønsker at røre ved denne mappe under normale forhold, skal du muligvis tømme dens indhold, hvis du opdager, at dit systems Datastore og Download -mappen er blevet desynkroniseret, hvilket resulterer i, at dine Windows-opdateringer^{(Windows Updates)} ikke fungerer korrekt.

Det er generelt set sikkert at slette indholdet af mappen Softwaredistribution , når alle filer, der kræves af den, er blevet brugt til at installere Windows Update . Selvom du sletter filer ellers, bliver de automatisk downloadet. Hvis du skulle slette selve mappen, bliver den automatisk genskabt, og de nødvendige WU-komponenter downloades automatisk.

Dette datalager indeholder dog også dine Windows Update History - filer. Hvis du sletter dem, mister du din opdateringshistorik^(Update) . Næste gang du kører Windows Update , vil det desuden resultere i en længere registreringstid.

If your Windows Update is not working properly or not working at all or if you find that the size of this folder has really grown large, then you can consider deleting the Software Distribution folder in Windows 11/10/8/7.

Hvis det kun er størrelsen, så hvis du bruger Diskoprydningsværktøj^{(Disk Cleanup Tool)} og vælger at rydde op i systemfiler^{(Clean up System Files)} på dit systemdrev^{(System Drive)} og derefter Windows Update - komponenter og leveringsoptimeringsfiler^{(Delivery Optimization)} , vil du opdage, at størrelsen på denne mappe bliver væsentligt reduceret. Men hvis du står over for problemer med Windows Update , så er det kendt, at du tømmer denne mappe for at hjælpe med at løse flere problemer, såsom Windows Update virker ikke^{(Windows Update not working)} , Windows Updates kan ikke installeres^{(Windows Updates fail to install)} , Fejl ved konfiguration af Windows-opdateringer , Windows Update sidder fast ved at downloade opdateringer^{(Windows Update stuck downloading updates)} , Vi kunne ikke fuldføre opdateringerne,^{(We couldn’t complete the updates,)} Windows 10 bliver ved med at installere den samme opdatering^{(Windows 10 keeps installing the same update)} og så videre.
