I checked the hidden files and scripts on the C drive. The names like "$Get Current", "$WINDOWS.~BT", and "Windows.~WS" are common setup directories or configuration files. These are typical in Windows environments, often used for system settings or user preferences. There’s no unusual pattern—just standard files that help manage system behavior.

These files are commonly found during a significant Windows 10 upgrade. Once the installation completes, they remain temporarily but usually disappear over time. You can remove them sooner by utilizing the built-in disk cleanup utility in Windows.

Be careful, manual removal or using the disk cleanup tool may prevent reverting to the previous version of Windows. This is generally not a problem, but it's something to note.

Removing the install files I think are safe. Removing the backup files post install means no uninstall as above. Generally unless you're desperate for space just ignore it and it'll sort itself out over time.
