%windir%\installer Folder?

[Oldster]

I have read somewhere that the files in this folder can be deleted once
the installation of whatever program has finished. Is this true? I only ask
because the files don't appear to be of any use, and are taking up quite a
lot of space on my system drive.

Run the disk cleanup utility and check to delete all temporary or installer
files. If this removes them then great, if not then I wouldn't touch them to
be safe (although they are probably not needed).

Click Windows > Type Disk Cleanup > Click Enter

That's fine, but I'd really like to know what these files are used
for... that's if they are really used for anything!
