C:\Windows\servicing\LCU> *dir /a /s /u2

 Volume in drive C is OS             Serial number is 4e90:7197

    Total for:  C:\Windows\servicing\LCU\*
     3,207,063,704 bytes in 279,787 files and 331,361 dirs

Yikes!

Hmm ... Microsoft's track record lately hasn't exactly been stellar. 
And I didn't get updates this week till yesterday. I think I'll wait 
till Sunday or Monday before deleting.

Unless ... the first-level subdirectories under LCU are dated
2025-03-26, 2025-04-09, and 2025-04-23. Is it safe to delete older 
ones and leave only the most recent one in place?

And it's a waste of time having Macrium Reflect back it up.

Although, my HIBERFIL.SYS is 6½ GB, and that gets backed up. To 
control that, as far as I know, I'd have to change my C: image backup 
to a file and folder backup. Goodness knows what that would do to the 
backup of the small recovery partitions that are automatically part 
of the C: image backup.
