Open a elevated command prompt and type in the following two lines, and press Enter after each:

Each command should take a few seconds, so wait until you see the messages that the services were stopped successfully. Leave the command prompt open for now.
Navigate to C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution and open the folder. Press CTRL + A to select all files and folder, then press the Delete key. All the files in the SoftwareDistribution should be deleted. We don't want to delete the folder itself.
