Autodesk installing folders on C drive when choosing installation path to D drive

Hi, 

I have a problem with Autodesk installing a lot of data (more than 20GB) on C drive when I choose installation path to be D drive (D:\Program Files\Autodesk).

Worst thing is that after deleting some of the folders from C drive, programs installed on D drive (ACAD, ACAD Mechanical, Inventor Pro) stopped working properly.

C drive Paths:
C:\Autodesk
C:\Program Files\Autodesk
C:\Program Files (x86)\Autodesk

C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Autodesk

Why Autodesk can't install all of the data on chosen installation path? I don't want any files on my C drive cause it's my system drive. Autodesk programs are first programs that I have this issue with.

Found even more data on C drive:

C:\ProgramData\Autodesk
C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk
C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk Installer
C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\AutodeskInstaller     (no mistake, these are two different folders)

That's just the way it works. Nothing we can do about it.
