    HUGE %WINDIR%\Installer folder


    A note of caution on Patch Cleaner, I used it for the first time a few days ago and fortunately I selected the option to move files in lieu of deleting (I have a HDD just for temporary storage) and two days later I needed to do repair of a program but the MSI was missing.
