The Windows Update Cleanup feature in Disk Cleanup always worked for me with a HDD. If there was ever a time it didn't work, I certainly can't recall.

This works in most cases, where the issue is originated due to a system corruption.

After downloading and installing the latest update to Windows 10 Pro on my Surface Pro 3 tablet, I used disk cleanup tool with system files option to delete unnecessary old files that I won’t use and also free up more space on hard drive. However, it detected about 500mb to be removed, ran for many hours then was stuck at 30%.

Disk Cleanup Stuck On Windows Update Cleanup Files

The Windows Update Cleanup option is available only when the Disk Cleanup wizard detects Windows updates that you do not need on the computer.

To enable you to roll back to previous updates, updates are stored in the WinSxS folder even after they are superseded by later updates. Therefore, after you run the Disk Cleanup tool, you may be unable to roll back to a superseded update. If you want to roll back to a superseded update that the Disk Cleanup tool deletes, you can manually install the update.

Once you have installed this update, type cleanmgr in Start Search and hit Enter to open the Disk Cleanup tool. Opt to Clean up system files too. You will then be offered the Windows Update Cleanup option, if it detects Windows updates that you no longer need.

Using this option will delete all your outdated Windows Updates, thereby helping you reclaim more disk space.
