Windows update causes Windows 11 24H2 8.63 GB glitch

joshuark writes: Users updating to the latest version of the operating system, Windows 11 users who tried to delete the 8.63 GB of upgrade data using the Windows Disk Cleanup application found themselves confused as the "inaccurate" amount.

Microsoft said: "After using the Windows Disk Cleanup application, it may display an incorrect amount of disk space that can be freed up in the 'Windows Update Cleanup' category...some or all files in that category (for example, 15 GB) are cleaned up correctly and the related disk space is freed as expected.

Microsoft is aware of the issue and is "working on a resolution and will provide more information when it is available."
