Introduction to the SoftwareDistribution folder under Win8

Recently updated the company's computer to Win8 version. After the update, I found a folder named SoftwareDistribution in the C drive. I didn't know what the folder was for at the beginning. I asked the computer master to know this folder. The main function is to store the downloaded patch file, but in the Win8 system, the folder also has a function, which is used to download the application installation package in the commercial store.

1, are generally not recommended deleting the SoftwareDistribution folder, but you can delete the files.

2, for Win8, the application installation package is also stored in this folder, then if the file is not deleted and there are some residuals, it will cause errors when installing some applications, which is some applications Can not be installed, let everyone re-establish a new SoftwareDistribution reason.

3, for the SoftwareDistribution folder, we have two methods of operation: intact, left or all deleted in the folder, not leaving.

Through the above article, all Win8 users and friends have a clear understanding of the role of the SoftwareDistribution folder? Do not easily delete this folder. I hope that I can help my friends who want to delete this folder.
