hi there

i know ms has a program to wipe the msi's but i don't understand why it backs up the msi files on to the hdd. sometimes deleting those ends up in programs giving errors. some of the setups try to restart. whyy?? i've reserved 2gb for win and documents and settings folder now that folder is 100mb and i just want to delete the whole thing or change the path. is there a good reason why they're getting backed up?

Thanks

As far as I know these files are cached for repair and self-healing purposes.

you cab use MSIZAP or an MSI cleanup tool. to remove orphaned or unneeded MSI files
