Boot with a Linux live CD and delete it. No?
Boot with a Linux live CD, and then delete Windows. I agree.
I wouldn't. This isn't a real problem but you'll probably make one if you force delete things marked as necessary for Checkpoint Updates. This 8.5gig of "stuff" is only there because 24H2 is still in Beta and it has incorrectly marked some things from the 23H update as required for future updates.
Is 24H2 still "beta" because I am surely not in the technology preview ring and not in any other preview program?
Because my PC got it installed and it looks to me as it's right now becoming GA status.
