Delete contents of C:\Windows\Software Distriubtion\Download

CCleaner for Windows CCleaner Windows Suggestions

One of the first things I do when I run CCleaner is go into the Advanced Tab, then add a folder manually to delete all the files/sub-directories in: C:\Windows\Software Distriubtion\Download

Those are installation files downloaded by Windows Update, and after Windows Updates installs the updates, it forgets to delete the installation files.

I have always deleted them for more than 5 years now (also in Windows Vista) and never ran into any problem.

So rather than me doing this manual addition to that folder to delete the contents of the Download folder (and its subdirectories since the setup files are always stored in subdirectories), can Piriform add this option for us users to select by default ?

Thank you

This has been discussed here before (Winapp2.ini thread): http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=32310&st=980&p=207410&hl=software%20distribution&fromsearch=1entry207410

This has generally been regarded as not such a great idea, because, while it's great for power users to save a bit of time, it can cause problems for novices who delete it all then can't revert the changes.

You can add this to the "Include" option
