Yesterday's Windows Update disaster

[goblin]

I've got some pretty large .exe files in my Download folder - is it safe to delete these?

Very much so.

But - to make your life easier - download TreeSize (the free version) by Jam Software.
One of those "Should've come stock with Windows" pieces of software.

It will allow you to clearly understand what's taking space on your pc.
