Clean safely the Windows Installer folder to save space in C, with PatchCleaner
When I setup my PC I thought that an 120 GB Kingston SSD drive would be fine — and it was until recently.
Checking space allocation with TreeSize I realized immediately that the “Installer” sub-folder of Windows is really large. This folder is where Windows stores program installers and patches that may be still useful or not. Fortunately this light freeware is able to detect what is still necessary in the Installer folder and what can be deleted, even letting you move useless files to another drive just in case you need something later.
PatchCleaner lets you also define applications to be excepted from this procedure such as Adobe Acrobat that seems to need its files in the Installer folder.
If you try to free up some space on your system drive, PatchCleaner is an option you cannot ignore.
