[SOLVED] WUA cache

Emmanuel64 · October 2, 2026 - 9:43 AM

Hello,

I've noticed on several computers that updates are being stored in the "C:\Program Files (x86)\wapt\private\cache" folder, often older updates that were taking up a lot of space.
The updates now seem to be located in "C:\Program Files (x86)\wapt\private\cache\wua".

I wanted to bring this to the team's attention and hopefully help free up disk space for other users who might be experiencing the same issue

.

PS: I'd also like to take this opportunity to applaud the changes in v2.7, especially the package logos – they look fantastic!

Normally, update retention in the new directory is better managed. However, it's possible that the files in the old directories weren't properly cleaned up. I'll discuss this with the developers to better manage this during the version upgrade.

PS: I'd like to take this opportunity to applaud the changes in v2.7, especially the package logos – they have a nice little wow factor!

Thanks for the feedback, it's always appreciated!

Sincerely,

Denis
