Problem uninstalling 3DS MAX 2020

Because I had not enough space on drive C:\ I installed it on drive D:\, however I noticed it took like 7GB when installing/downloading on drive C:\ so I uninstalled it but my space didn't go back. Used the Microsoft uninstaller because there still was an entry on registry but don't know where those 7GB are stored on drive C:\, on drive D:\ there are not file usage.

When you install an Autodesk app it unpacks it to C:\Autodesk, that's probably what you are looking for. Once it's installed you can safely remove those files. (Not sure about the WI folder, but probably.)

Otherwise maybe there is some clutter in your preferences? Check in C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2020 - 64bit

Best Regards,
