    Windows is installed on "c" drive but i still have leftovers from another windows installation


    Windows is installed on my C drive but i also have 2 other storage volumes that contain a bunch of other window folders from a previous installation, would it be safe to remove those folders?if it would help the folders are named "mono" ,"program files" ,"program files x86" ,"system" ,"system64" ,"windows"

    C windows installer folder - Delete?

    He can do symbolic link redirection and move the files in it to a different location. *Wink Windows is installed on "c" drive but i still have leftovers from another windows installation ;)
    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.
