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.

 

Deleting everything after uninstall!!!

Hi I seem to have a problem everytime when I uninstall a program (for example saling media sync) , it leaves behind a bunch of registries and other things from it. Is there a software or something that will delete these things left behind after an uninstallation? I currently use CCleaner, but it seems to still not do the job. I know this for a fact because before installing Salling Media Sync I had about 40.8 gigs on my ssd drive, but now I after the uninstallating for some reason have 39.8 gigs. This problem might seem minor for some, but I just like deleting any unecessary things that I don't need on my computer.

Thanks
