    Wasted space?

    Vista Home Premium SP2
    C:/windows/installer contains files that date back to 2007 when laptop was
    first purchased and is over 500mb. Should windows be keeping these files and
    can they be deleted or moved.TIA Keith.

    No, don't touch that folder.
    This folder contains files used during install process. Without content of
    this folder, you would be unable to repair, modify, upgrade, uninstall
    software installed on your computer.
