The files can be removed, but frees up very little amount of disk space.
Personally, I keep the log files in case I need to troubleshooting something
in future.
The following files (Note: wildcards used) are deleted when you cleanup
"Setup Log Files" using Disk Cleanup.
setup*.log
setup*.old
setuplog.txt
winnt32.log

Thank you. I mistakenly posted no to "did this answer help?", and then
changed it to yes. A charitable geek tuned up my desktop and removed those
files. This is not the same computer. I never questioned it because he
introduced me to avast and made things work and work faster.
I don't fully understand where to access the setup log files. I don't know
the "run" command and cannot find them on my computer. Do I search all files
or what?
Thanks again. ed
