Huge Disk Space

Question

I had a problem about my disk space and I decided to look which file is taking a huge place(293GB), although I don't have so many programs on my pc.

Then I saw a file which was named ,

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\ClickToRun\ProductReleases\AF99D195-6556-4A34-8A4B-17FADA230DEE

and I made some search on internet, they were telling that I should'nt delete this file. So, how can I get rid of this file to have some space?

Answer 1

Hi SametBiGROCK,

That folder contains multiple instances of the Microsoft Office installer, if you have now deleted that, there will be no further problems with that folder or space.

Answer 2

Thank you for your interest

I solved the problem, I deleted the file and it worked. I think it is something like trash in my PC, because most of te times I do install programs and after I am done I immediately uninstall them.
