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.

 

Reinstalled Windows XP; Hard Disk Drive(C Still Has 251 GB of Used Space

Yes, I can see all the old files now!*Respect :respect:

Excellent advice; thanks!



Now, I have an additional question.

I am planning to install Windows 7 in a few weeks over my current OS Windows XP.

I am going to copy all my Documents, Photos, and Music to CD-Roms.


But I also have a lot of video games and video game mods (e.g. Battlefield 1942; Silent Hunter; Battlefield 2) on the computer.

I cannot currently play any of these video games since I reinstalled Windows XP, but all their folders and files are still on the C Drive.


I also a lot of video games installed with Valve Inc.'s STEAM system via the internet; I am able to play these games.

Reinstalling Windows XP has erased any of my saved progress on games like Half-Life 2 and Far Cry 2, so I will have to start playing the games at the beginning again.



Questions:

What should I do with the video games, including the STEAM games, if I install Windows 7???


I still have 240 GB of Used Space on the C Drive, and I know these games take up much of the Disk Space on the C Drive.

Should I go into My Computer > C Drive> Program Files> and delete all the various games' folders, and then reinstall the games after installing Windows 7???



When you upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7, it is supposed to wipe everything out from Windows XP.
