    C windows installer folder - Delete?

    He can do symbolic link redirection and move the files in it to a different location. *Wink i have 5 project folder is my C:\Users\ folder and i wanna know if its safe to delete them.... ;)
    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.

    C windows installer folder - Delete?

    So I personally don't have any problems with this folder at the moment but one of my friends is wondering if it's safe to delete everything in that folder since he is trying to free up some space on his hard drive. Thanks!
