Delivery Optimization is a feature in Windows 10 that allows users to share updates and apps with other devices on the same network. This feature uses peer-to-peer connections to transfer files and update packages, reducing the load on Microsoft’s servers and speeding up the download process. However, over time, these files can accumulate on your computer and take up valuable disk space. In this article, we will show you how to delete delivery optimization files in Windows 10.

In the Settings menu, click on Update & Security.

Step 3: Open Delivery Optimization Settings

Step 4: Change the Settings

To delete the delivery optimization files from your computer, you will have to disable this feature. Click on the “Advanced options” link under “Download settings”.

Step 5: Select “Off” from the Settings
