Can Delete C Windows Installer Patchcache Managed
Hi,
I would like to inform you that, it is not recommended to delete Windows Installer Patch Files. The Windows Installer Cache, located in c:windowsinstaller folder, is used to store important files for applications installed using the Windows Installer technology and should not be deleted. If the installer cache has been compromised, you may not immediately see problems until you perform an action such as uninstall, repair, or update on a product.
When a product is installed using Windows Installer critical files are stored in the Windows Installer Cache (default is C:WindowsInstaller). These files are required for uninstalling and updating applications. Missing files cannot be copied between machines since they are unique.
If you do not have enough space on c: drive, you may try the below suggestions:
a. Move the download folder to another drive.
b. Empty recycle bin
c. Uninstall the applications that you no more use.
d. Perform disk cleanup, refer the below links.
