Developer's Description

Developer’s Description

According to HomeDev, PatchCleaner identifies redundant installer files and offers two options:​Move

  • Them to another location as a precautionary measure.
  • Delete them to free up disk space.​The utility operates by comparing the list of known .msi and .msp files, accessible via Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) calls, against the files present in the C:\Windows\Installer directory. Files not found in the WMI list are considered and are flagged for action.​
