I recently updated Microsoft Office 2016 with the latest patches via Windows update. There were tons of updates. Like with Windows 10, I would like to clean the cache where the outdated files are stored, and possibly the registry. There are 4 GB of data somewhere on my system, my question is: where are the folders where Office 2016 update cache are stored?
I use two products, both free.
One Treesize - gives a great view on where space is being used and by what.
Second - Wise Disk Cleaner - can be quite aggressive, it does allow you to select what to clean in the way of data.
Download both from their websites.

I use this. Will automatically find and either delete/move superseded Office, Windows, Acrobat, etc files that are no longer needed for updating or reinstall (orphaned files). First time you run it, expect to save many gb's of space. I usually save any newer than 60 days, then delete. Very easy to use and fast. - PatchCleaner - safely clean your windows installer directory | homedev - software development out of the box
Great to hear !

i use wise i find it i must say a lot better than CCleaner that i had used for years but once it got sold or went in with Avast i found that everytime it updated i spent a good hour or so removing avast no problem since installing wise it does it ok and lol no avast also Merry Christmas to you
I'm aware that there are two options to what PC finds-Delete/Move. I err on the side of caution in that regard. I never delete the 'unused' files that it finds. I move the Office 2016 and Acrobat DC files that it finds to my backup drive and store for at least 60 days before I delete. That's what I would advise anyone. Neither program has ever been affected on my computers.Thanks
