Acrobat Reader patch updates bloat Windows Installer folder
Acrobat Reader patch updates bloat Windows Installer folder. Look at any computer that has had Acrobat Reader installed for a few years. The C:\Windows\Installer folder will have dozens of Gigabytes taken up by Adobe .msp files. Check the size of the folder before and after uninstalling Adobe Reader - the folder will decrease in size significantly. Reinstalling Adobe Reader results in a smaller size. It would be very helpful to the user for Acrobat Reader's update process to achieve this size reduction automatically. There are millions of customers losing dozens of Gigabytes each, this should be a top priority to fix. Attached image shows the result of uninstalling Acrobat Reader, the red-outlined files were all deleted.
