After the Anniversary Update, I realized my SSD had significantly less space. It seems the old Windows installation was occupying much of it. Since I hadn’t used any previous Windows versions on this drive before, it’s possible the update left remnants there. Cleaning up via Disk Cleanup warns me that removing this installer would erase system restore points. If I delete it, those backups would be lost. Let me know if you need more clarity!
