      That’s just normal, they gotta store your data and the downloaded updates somewhere…

          Of course, that’s what I’m saying. They gotta backup all that data they’re collecting while they’re tracking you. And windows after downloading an update and applying it, they don’t delete it. They keep it, to share it with other windows machines, cause it’s cheaper for MS to do peer to peer between windows computers instead of downloading it directly from them.
