How to fix error 0x80070070 when upgrading to Windows 11


What does error code 0x80070070 mean?

If you're upgrading to Windows 11 from Windows 10, and the upgrade process is interrupted by the error code 0x80070070, it means you have a storage space issue. Specifically, you're low on disk space on your Windows drive. You need to first free up space on the drive, and then upgrade the OS.

Empty the Recycle Bin

The files you delete from your hard drive are not automatically deleted. Rather, they move to a special folder called the Recycle Bin and stay there as long as you don’t decide to empty this folder. This also serves as a backup measure against accidental deletion.
To empty the Recycle Bin and thereby make more space on your hard drive, do the following.
Go to your desktop and right click on the Recycle Bin item.
Then select the Empty Recycle Bin option.
To finish, confirm the requested operation.

Delete temporary files

Temporary files are files that are generated by the system’s own operation, including the use of programs and Internet browsing. They tend to be stored indeterminately if no maintenance is done on the PC. Its elimination is very simple using the following procedure.
In the search box on the taskbar, type disk cleanup.
From the list of results select the Disk Cleanup application.
Enter the System section and select Storage.
Next, click Temporary files.
Check the boxes for the items displayed in the Files that can be removed window and click OK.
Confirm the requested action.

For a more thorough clean, go back into Disk Cleanup and click Clean up system files. Check the boxes of items that can be removed without affecting the operation of the system and click OK. Confirm the requested action and restart your PC.

Uninstall apps you don’t use

Having many applications unused for long periods of time not only contributes to a lack of space but can also affect the performance or security of the system as it is also possible that they are outdated versions.
