What is the folder C:\OS?

Windows 11 Pro.

The Drive/Partition label is OS (C but I also have a folder named C:\OS.

It seems to have subfolders with the same names as folders directly under C:.

What is this folder, how did it get there and do I need to keep it? All the files under C:\OS seem to be duplicates.

Thanks.

 

C windows installer folder - Delete?

He can do symbolic link redirection and move the files in it to a different location. *Wink
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.
