    C windows installer folder - Delete?

    He can do symbolic link redirection and move the files in it to a different location. *Wink Delete subfolder in C:\Windows\SystemTemp ;)
    Better try it out in a virtual of first. Just a suggestion.

    Like:
    First move everything in c:\windows\installer to d:\installercache
    Then delete c:\windows\installer folder
    Then type this in command mode as admin
    mklink /d c:\windows\installer d:\installercache

    Removing those installer files is a bad idea. it might prevent you from updating or uninstalling apps.

    Expanding DiskCleanup to purge C:\windows\systemtemp on startup via Registry Edit?

    I need to delete files in C:\windows\systemtemp on startup. A blog indicated that I may be able to modify DiskCleanup by adding that path using these steps:

    Just in case someone wants it. Add an extra folder to this registry path:

    @ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VolumeCaches\Temporary Files

    "FileList"="*.*" is already there, edit the REG_EXPAND_SZ "Folder" and add the path here.

    If files are locked they will not be deleted as far as I know.

    I can't find independent assurance this will work so I wanted to check here. Can DiskCleanup be used this way?

    Delete subfolder in C:\Windows\SystemTemp

    Deleted profile list and subfolders from regedit windows 10

    It seems you are dealing with numerous separate problems:

    • The virus infection
    • Restore points that do not work
    • An automatic update that may be only half completed
    • The deleted registry key
    • Maybe some deleted folders. From the subject of your post it is unclear if "Deleted profile list and subfolder" means "subkey" or "subfolder" on the hard disk.
    Can you reboot the machine in Safe Mode? You can see the option after you have interrupted the boot-up process three times.
