I came to find a slightly full "downloaded installations" folder in
"C:\Windows".

Although the Disk Cleanup Wizard doesn't handle browser caches
particularly well, it does a better job with cleaning up other
temporary files. Use it as a part of your regular maintenance routine,
just don't think that it does the job on its own. You still have to
scrub the virtual baseboards yourself. Its basic categories of
Temporary Internet Files, Downloaded Program Files, Temporary Files,
and Recycle Bin, are relatively self-explanatory and can usually be
emptied with little forethought (except for the Recycle Bin, if you
want to be doubly careful). The More Options tab uses the Add/Remove
applet under Control Panel to hunt for other files that may not be of
use.

Downloaded Program Files - Downloaded program files are ActiveX
controls and Java programs that are downloaded automatically from the
Internet when you view certain pages. These files are temporarily
stored in the Downloaded Program Files folder on the hard disk. This
option includes a View Files button so that you can see the files
before Disk Cleanup removes them. The button opens the
C:\Winnt\Downloaded Program Files folder.
