    Junk folders keep increasing on C drive after upgrading windows 10 with "Keep Windows settings, personal files and apps" option

    Since the folder is under Drive C, we suggest performing
    disk cleanup     to remove unnecessary files and free up disk space on your drive by following the steps in this article.

    Update us with the outcome so we can provide you further assistance.

    C windows installer folder - Delete?

    He can do symbolic link redirection and move the files in it to a different location. *Wink In my PC C drive is full. How do I remove unnecessary file or folders ;)
    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.
