cleanup more installers


Recommended Posts

many installers leave cruft behind. A prime example of this would be nVidia which can store gigabytes of temporary installer files in both:

 

C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\Installer2\

 

and

 

C:\NVIDIA\

 

To my knowledge, both of these directories can be emptied with no real downsides. I'd love to see a section for cleaning up all sorts of installers.

OK I know what cruft is, but the origin of the word still makes me chuckle.

 

Wiki will still tell you that the origin is unknown.

 

I like the explanation that goes as follows-

 

Crufts is the worlds largest pedigree dog show.

As you can imagine after such a show there is a lot of dog cruft to clean up.

Worried about 'Tracking Files'? Worried about why some files come back after cleaning? See this link:

C:\NVIDIA\

 

 

this can you delete manually or with the include-option.

 

but the other "temporary installer" should perhaps stay, if i remember me darkly
