are there any updates to be deleted?

hey all, new to the forums

i downloaded WSUS after windows failed to find and apply updates via "windows update". however WSUS found the updates successfully but hung on trying to apply the first update. i read on a post that a possible fix would be to force restart and run WSUS installer again. after i did this, WSUS installed the update, but would only install 1 update at a time and would tell me to restart the machine and run WSUS after restart.

i did this for 3-4 updates and got impatient and wondered if i could use windows update to mass install them all. this worked and i installed ~200 updates via windows update. however in the beginning, WSUS downloaded a bunch of updates in preparation to be installed, do i / can i delete the files now that the updates are installed by windows update? i want to recover the potential disk space

thanks !

If you do not intend to use WSUSOU again, you can delete it.

where are the updates downloaded to? the WSUS folder?

All updates are in the .\client subdirectory, separated by OS.
