    I want to delete unnecessary user folder in C but restricted


    Description:I've been running out storage in C and I notice that there's a user folder that coming from my old Win 10 before I update this into Win 11. I want to delete this user folder because it seems unnecessary but it says that I don't have the permission meanwhile this user that I'm using right now is set to Administrator. I tried to do "whoami" command and it says "rayhan/rayha", I don't get it what it mean but there are 2 folders in C:\Users\, there are C:\Users\rayha and C:\Users\rayhan.Question:What is "rayhan/rayha" mean? And how to delete this rayhan folder from C:\Users\?Windows Ve

    C windows installer folder - Delete?

    He can do symbolic link redirection and move the files in it to a different location. *Wink I want to delete unnecessary user folder in C but restricted ;)
    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.
