BITS jobs are lost when you downgrade from BITS 4.0
When you uninstall Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) 4.0, all current "BITS transfer jobs" in the queue are lost. Additionally, files that have not yet completed downloading are unrecoverable together with their associated temporary files that are occupying disk space until they are explicitly deleted. Therefore, we recommend that the BITS 4.0 package not be uninstalled when there are jobs in the BITS queue.
Note Uninstalling BITS 4.0 will downgrade BITS from BITS 4.0 to BITS 3.0.
The BITS job queue can be explicitly cleared by using the following BITSAdmin command:
bitsadmin /reset /allusers

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
