    C windows installer folder - Delete?

    He can do symbolic link redirection and move the files in it to a different location. *Wink Trying to delete Windows Update Clean-up ;)
    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.

    Trying to delete Windows Update Clean-up

    Why don't the old versions of software get deleted when updating?

    Most of the Microsoft ones are looked at as updates.
    The Java ones... you have to delete the versions you don't want.

    There are ways to clean up the listing... manually or by some software.

    EDIT: Some is poorly written software that does not clean up after itself, too.
