The Netflix app in Windows 10 allows you to download movies and videos for offline viewing. Depending on the resolution and number of movies and TV shows you download, the app can fill up the hard drive space pretty quickly. Not to mention, the space you are filling up is the C drive. i.e, system drive. In those situations, it is better to delete all or specific Netflix downloaded content to free up some space. In case you are wondering, follow the below steps to delete downloaded Netflix content in Windows 10.
