    Windows\Installer folder


    Could someone shine a light on why this folder for certain machines can reach 70-100Gb in size, we have basic Dell 7060 machines which have standard applications such as Office, Adobe Reader etc the anti-virus we use is Kaspersky. I cannot understand why this folder is this large with the small amount of applications we have. If anyone has any ideas I'd be grateful for your input.

    :)

    C windows installer folder - Delete?

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

    Windows\Installer folder

    Windows installation folder

    A couple of years ago, I read that Windows has a special folder that contains files used during the installation process. Also, I heard there's another folder that Windows uses as a back-up of every system file, just in case the user wants to do a system restore. Where can I find both folders and are they safe to delete?
