-Cleaning Up Files and Folders
Today I tackle an interesting issue, cleaning up files left behind by installers and patches. How do you know what files and folders are from installers and how do you determine if they are safe to delete? Well if they use the %temp% directory this is an easy decision, the problem is that many programs don’t use this directory and with good cause.
The folders I am talking about deleting are the folders within %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution, all those pesky long numbered folders in the root of your system drive and a few other folders that can safley be deleted.
