  1. How do I deleted user folders from Windows 10 Pro on the C drive?


    I run a small business and we use Windows 10 Pro on all of our workstations. We have several "user folders" on the workstations that I'd like to delete because those employees are no longer with us. I go into Local Disk, Users and try to delete them but it says I need their permission. I deleted the user off of the server from the active directory, thinking it would no longer need their permission, but it still does. How do I get these user folders off of the computer so it won't take up so much room?

    :)

    C windows installer folder - Delete?

    He can do symbolic link redirection and move the files in it to a different location. *Wink How do I deleted user folders from Windows 10 Pro on the C drive? ;)
    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.

    User folders in root C: drive

    In my new Windows 10, these folders were generated:

    • Intel
    • PerfLogs
    • Program Files
    • Program Files (x86)
    • Users
    • Windows
    Is there a policy of users generating new folders in this root C: drive?

    On my old W7 PC I had several folders in C:, providing a shorter path for applications.

    E.g. Is there an advantage when new Windows software is installed?
