    windows/installer folder


    I just checked for more space using folders with windirstat.
    It showed a folder Installer in windows folder as below
    windows/installer folder-windirstat.png
    But I am not seeing any Installer folder in Windows.
    It has files of winpe of 1607 and macrium reflect free file.
    Are they still necessary after macrium boot drive is made and macrium installed.

    The Installer folder is a Hidden & Protected folder ... Don't mess with it ...
