My System (C:) drive folder is only 110GB and 64GB of that is taekn up by Windows, upon investigation I found a 41GB folder called "Installer" within the Windows folder. This is killing my C drive and I don't know how to fix it, is this normal ? 64GB for Windows?
Version is Windows 10.

    H dinolaaaaaaa,

    I am Dave, I will help you with this, it is not normal for that folder to use a huge amount of drive space,

    There is no native way to clear out that folder, there is a safe free utility named PatchCleaner available online, it was created by a developer specifically to clean out that Installer folder, that is the best option to safely remove unnecessary files from that Installer folder

    Hi dinolaaaaaaa,

    Rest assured, that PatchCleaner utility is totally safe to use, the developer on Source Forge developed that app specifically to safely clean out that folder.
