Save Installer Folders
« on: August 10, 2013, 06:43:55 AM »
So I'm looking at what's taking up space on my HD, and I have about 8GB in c:\Windows\Installer.

Most of the folders are what named after what seems to be a combination of the registry location, my 1988 Chevy Beretta's VIN, and a certificate generated by the Lektor machine. (eg, {7FXDABCC-1U1E-4D61-907D-BA2195175774} )

Do I need these? Does Windows continue to need the installer files, or is that just something that bloats and never erases?

Thanks

If all installed apps are running fine they are not needed.

As far as I know they are.

If something goes pear-shaped, I always have backups.

(And if everything goes au pair shaped, who cares about the *censored* laptop, anyway?

Thanks for the help.
