Re: Delete unnecessary files

Thank you.
C:\Windows\Installer is plenty of .msi files and others in parenthesia, some
very old, summing up yo 1.8 GB. I assume they were used by XP and other
programs to install aplications and now they should be useless after their
task has been completed.
If safe, I would like to delete and free space in my HD

What is your opinion? Thanks for your ansers
