| %windir%\installer Folder? I have read somewhere that the files in this folder can be deleted once the installation of whatever program has finished. Is this true? I only ask because the files don't appear to be of any use, and are taking up quite a lot of space on my system drive. |

| RE: %windir%\installer Folder? Run the disk cleanup utility and check to delete all temporary or installer files. If this removes them then great, if not then I wouldn't touch them to be safe (although they are probably not needed).

| Re: %windir%\installer Folder? That's fine, but I'd really like to know what these files are used for... that's if they are really used for anything!
