After your computer applies a Windows patch, the patch file along with other files related to the installation are cached in the hidden system folder C:WindowsInstaller$PatchCache$. The files in this cache are mainly used to roll the system back when a patch is uninstalled. Over time, this storage place may become quite large, and if you have a computer in your office with a rapidly filling hard drive, clearing the cache can free up gigabytes of space that can be used for business documents such as contracts, invoices, employee evaluations or copies of business letters.

Tip

  • If your goal is just to free up disk space, consider using the Disk Cleanup utility before clearing the baseline cache. Click the Windows 'Start' button, type “disk cleanup” in the Search field and click “Disk Cleanup” from the search results.

Warnings

Trusted
  • Only files in the C:WindowsInstaller$PatchCache$ directory, called the baseline cache, are safe to delete. Do not, under any circumstances, delete anything out of C:WindowsInstaller; doing so may cause serious problems in the future that necessitate a reinstallation of Windows.
  • While clearing the baseline cache is safe, if you ever want to uninstall a patch in the future, you’ll need to download the specific patch’s installer file. For this reason, consider backing up your baseline cache to an external hard drive before clearing it.
