Safe to delete Autodesk folder?

[iamcdn79]

When I installed Powermill 2018 Ultimate a folder was created called C:\Autodesk with the following subfolders attached. Is it safe to delete this folder? The reason I ask is it takes over 3 gb of disk space

I deleted mine and 2018 still functions properly. I assumed thats where the  install files are extracted to...

Correct.

These are setup files. I moved mine to another location just to avoid having to download them again if I have to reinstall PowerMill.

If I'm not sure if it's safe to delete a folder, I try to rename it first and test it out (or just keep it renamed for a month).

I would change "Autodesk" to "Autodesk1". Redirects to this folder will be broken and you just have to rename it back to original.

Nothing can get lost this way

@GlennM.MCAM Thank god that I only renamed that folder to 'Autodesk1' and not deleted that entire folder because then I wouldn't have been able to downgrade to Powermill 2018 update 3 from update 4, I would have had to unistall all of Powermill 2018 and reinstall all over again.

If you ever want to just downgrade an update in the future without having to uninstall the complete Powermill installtion don't delete that folder.
