System Update Downloads
Posted: Wed Apr 16, 2008 10:40 pm
Hi,
I just used System Update for the first time to update some drivers and ThinkVantage software. After applying the updates, I noticed that 2GB of harddrive space was used. That's quite a bit of space for driver and software updates seeing as how I didn't install anything new. What I'd like to know is whether anyone has figured out where the downloaded installation files are downloaded to and if they can be deleted. I'm pretty sure that they are located in the C:\Program Files\Lenovo\System Update\Session directory. But from what I have read, it appears that some of these files/directories are required. Does anyone know what can be safely deleted in this directory or a way that I can clean up after System Update. Seems like poor software design when the application doesn't clean up after itself.
Thanks in advance,
