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.

 

Need help moving a legacy windows folder off my C drive

Hello,
I'm running out of disk space on my C drive where Win10 Pro version 1511 is stored.
I've attached a screenshot showing the C Drive (only 18GB free of 237GB).
There is a folder called Windows.Old the purpose of which I can't recall. It's size is 16GB. One of the screenshots shows the contents of this drive. On that screenshot, of the folders listed, "Windows" contains 15.5GB, nearly all of the storage for this subfolder called Windows.Old. Note that I also have a "Windows" subfolder on the C drive that is 23.6GB in size and last dated 10/22/20 so I know this is the windows that is running the PC.
As far as Windows.Old, I think it might have been my C drive on an older PC that I decided to move to this C drive.
In any event, I don't think I need it (all subfolders are dated year 2015).
I had planned to move this folder to Drive F which has over 3TB of capacity, but it won't copy over using a tool like Syncback (at least many of the files). I tried logging in as Admin and that didn't help.

Please help me, step-by-step, to transfer this Windows.old folder over to Drive F so I can free up C drive. Thank you!
