					<description><![CDATA[Hi, 



I was hoping someone could help me...



I left windows 10 updating yesterday when I left work and when I 
returned today there was a message informing me it had failed due to no 
disk space and the entire C drive was full. Error code was 0x80070070



I clicked through the &quot;manage storage&quot; steps to find that in the section
 classed as &quot;other&quot; there are 2 massive files in a folder named EFSTMPWP
 taking up like 364gb.



I have searched online and learned that these are temporary files 
usually made by CIPHER(?) if you&#039;ve tried to wipe the computer, it 
should delete automatically, but if the process is interrupted then it 
can remain..?? and the advice online is that they can
 be deleted.



This computer is actually a new purchase, a manufacturer refurbished PC 
that I only acquired yesterday, and as it turned out, annoyingly, there 
was a user account on it, which I deleted.



My questions are:

- Is it actually okay to delete these files? ...364gb is just crazy

- Is the creation of the EFSTMPWP files likely to do with the failed 
Windows 10 update, the deleted user account, or perhaps, the 
refurbishment (assuming someone did actually wipe it)?

- If anybody thinks it is likely the update (which I have tried a couple
 times to no avail) - Any advice on why it may not be working - It&#039;s 
trying to update from like version 10000 - 16000 (or something)]]></description>
