Microsoft confirms bug that leaves ~9GB of undeletable files in Windows 11

Not only have we seen blue screen crashes related to gaming and Intel drivers and disappearing mouse cursors, but the major Windows 11 24H2 update apparently also creates an enormous cache folder during installation that can't be deleted. How enormous are we talking? An impressive 8.63GB in size, a sizable chunk of all but the largest of drives.

Update on October 16, 2024: As of two days ago, Microsoft has confirmed the existence of this mysterious bug but emphasizes that it's only a false alarm. When running Windows Update Cleanup, the files themselves are properly deleted but Disk Cleanup mistakenly continues to show that the storage is being used. This is just a "reporting error" and Microsoft is working on a resolution.
