I just noticed this today,, did clean install of 24h2, 2 hours later i run disk clean up and wow over 8gb windows update files, never seen that much on new install, maybe its a false report of the amount of files, so cleaned them, and c drive still showing the same amout of free space before clean,, i remember windows xp or vista with similar issue at one time,

No leftover undeletable files here after a 24H2 clean install. I also ran CleanMgr+ just to be sure and it too didn't show leftover files.
Aah, now I recall: I used an ISO created at UUPDUMP (which uses Microsoft Update Servers to assemble install packages) and selected "Run Component Cleanup" as part of the process. Maybe that's why . . .

(Apologies, the forum won't allow me to post the links. Just search.)
