C:\Users\Public\Documents\Downloaded Installations is taking a lot of space in my computer, what is the purpose of the file, is it safe to delete it. are there any implications to deleting it?

c:\users\public\public documents\xxxxx

robocopy "c:\users\public\public documents\foldername"

robocopy "c:\users\public\documents\foldername"

In your report you left out some essential details, e.g.

• Does the folder c:\users\public\public documents exist?

Is it safe to delete 'Downloaded Installations' folder?

I want to delete Downloaded Installations folder "C:\Users\Public\Documents\Downloaded Installations" because it is almost 20GB, so is it safe to delete it?

 

c:\users\public\public documents\xxxxx

when running a .bat file with the following script, the copy fails. --- robocopy "c:\users\public\public documents\foldername" "e:\copyfolder" /mir /eta /r:1 /w:1 /log:c:\robolog\logfile.txt

However, when running the same script with 'public documents' changed to 'documents', the script runs ok.

--- robocopy "c:\users\public\documents\foldername" "e:\copyfolder" /mir /eta /r:1 /w:1 /log:c:\robolog\logfile.txt

why is 'public documents' a pseudoname?

I should note that after a change to the script, I have to always remember to save the .bat file as UTF-8, or the quotes in the script cause problems, too.
