    Unknown folder in C:\


    Hello guys, I just bought this new PC that I usually use it for gaming and some programming. Today I was checking my hard disk, and I found this folder in C:\ root. The folder's name is a string of letters and numbers, and its interior contains only .CAB files. Does anyone know what is this? I tried inserting an image, but the uploading always failed for some reason.

    :)

    C windows installer folder - Delete?

    He can do symbolic link redirection and move the files in it to a different location. *Wink Unknown folder in C:\ ;)
    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.
