Windows 11 24H2 update apparently creates an enormous cache folder during installation that can't be deleted.

Windows always creates a cache when installing Windows updates, which is meant to be a temporary holding place for installation files.

Microsoft is aware of the bug, with confirmation from several users in the Feedback Hub .

Until then, you should leave the Windows Update cache untouched.
