How to get rid of orphaned Windows Installer files

Posted by Treg in Howto's

Note to self and the interwebs: found a great tool today to free some diskspace in the C:\Windows\Installer folder. It’s called “PatchCleaner”, well well. It saved me more than 13 Gigs… 🙂

You can find the PatchCleaner software here: http://www.homedev.com.au/Free/PatchCleaner

Be advised, this tool does “non recommended” stuff. Move orphaned files with the tool to another harddrive for safetey reasons. (don’t delete them)
