I've got the adobe master collection installed on my computer and that's a pretty big set of files. LoL and lots of Steam games. I also have a tendency to install and uninstall a lot of small programs. Maybe it's a built up of that.

Sounds like a Windows 8/8.1 problem. I have no such folder on my Windows 7 machine.

This folder is not directly visible, you have to manually specify the path in the address bar in order to see it. But it's there, and I believe it's been that way ever since Win95.

Though Windows 2K and NT use C:\WINNT\Installer path instead.

I guess you will have to manually go through all the folders if your not sure which one you want to delete.

Wait, the ENTIRE thing? Are you sure you need all that? Because unless you are a professional designer who does design for a living, I doubt you use even half of the whole suite.

Not to mention that the license for 1 machine costs around $1k USD, and that seems like a frivolous spend of money. Even if YOU ARE a designer.

No not the entire collection... maybe 3-4 programs? But even if I uninstall it, doesn't it keep the MSI files anyway? =/

But I did get the whole set legally for $98 only =P /gloat

$98? Whut.

... is that place still open?

On-topic: Technically if you uninstall the suite, the good programs should ALWAYS clean up after themselves. Question as to which programs are 'good' is of course open to debate.

I have a terabyte HDD already so that's not my problem....
Personally, I think you spend more time cleaning the drive to recuperate the space every time it slightly clogs up, e.g. looking for what to delete. Windows updates will keep coming and take up space. Assuming all of your Steam games, programs, Home folders (Desktop, Music, Downloads, Pictures, Videos) are configured to be placed on the 1TB HDD, the Windows and Office updates alone will fill up the drive eventually.

If the items in bold aren't configured as such, it's a good time to go back to do so.

The main solution is getting a 120+ GB SSD. You only install it once, use the data migration software to move the OS once and you're good to go for the next few years. I mean, I'd prefer a day of hassle and not worry about the same problem over and over.
