How do I completely delete Revit files when the installation stops midway because my C: drive is full?

When I ran the Revit package file 2023 (.exe) after doing a custom install, within a few moments the installation went well. However, halfway through, I encountered an error during the installation that made it fail. Then, I checked and it turned out it was caused by my C: drive being full. I started uninstalling specific Revit products in the Control Panel. However, my C: drive is still full. How do I solve it so that all those Revit files that stop midway are deleted so that my C: drive is a little freer?

So additional options:

 

You need a 2nd drive or network location for this:

Move your C:\Autodesk to 2nd drive 

Move all the downloads for Autodesk software in your C:\Download folder to a 2nd drive or network location.

Clean out your %temp% folder the best you can.
