Large ffu files in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Packages\Products\

0

I had the Lumia Software Recovery Tool installed on my laptop. I have removed it. However, I notice some really large files that seem to be left behind. These files are under the C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Packages\Products\RM-917 folder. I have two folders under there RM-860 and RM-917. I see that the files under RM-860 seem to be related to my Lumia 928. There's a 040-115437_TYPE_LABEL_RM-860_BLACK_NOK928B_08.xml file under the RM-860 folder. I'm thinking that I can delete both of these folders. There's a couple ffu files under there that are multiple Gigs.

Thanks

Eric

Critical system files are never stored in that directory. if the software is not installed currently you can delete files in the ProgramData directory. – Ramhound – 2016-07-08T15:34:48.090

That are the ROMs for your Lumia Phones. If you don't want to reset the Phones again, you can delete the complete folder with all files.

What I thought. I'm surprised uninstalling the Lumia Software Recovery Tool didn't delete them, or at least ask me if I wanted to delete them. – Eric – 2016-07-08T15:55:31.627

maybe it was user feedback to leave them in case the users want to reflash the phone. I have no idea – magicandre1981 – 2016-07-08T15:59:57.400
