Question regarding automatic cleanup of "InstallPackages" folder

Post by rakunavi »

Hello all,

PDF-XChange Updater automatically saves installation files to the folder under "C:\ProgramData\PDF-XChange\Updater\InstallPackages". It seems that these files are organized by product type and build, and older versions remain stored there as well.

Does the updater have a rule to automatically delete these files after a certain period? Or do they stay in the storage indefinitely unless manually deleted?

If it's the latter, this folder could be a very useful place for users whose license maintenance has expired to find the specific older installers they need.

Thank you for taking the time to read my question.

Best regards,
rakunavi
