Microsoft ClickToRun folder - reduce size

3

2

I get every few days a new sub-folder in microsoft ClickToRun folder C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\ClickToRun. I have the office 2016 preview which is installed using this technology. each sub folder has hundreds of files like this one:

A796A3A0-C534-4C16-B12A-5B95B6F05D8B.stream.x64.x-none.1028069089

It's now about 11 GB of my hard drive. Can I erase the old ones? why is it growing so big?

What I did was uninstall Office, delete the ClickToRun folder, then used the Office Deployment Tool to download and install Office.

I now have Office installed again and my ClickToRun folder is just 12mb.

1I already did that as a solution for the problem, but I rather find a solution that doesn't require uninstalling and re-installing office every 3 months...... – Dani – 2015-10-08T04:24:15.023
