Can I delete C:\ArcGIS\Deployment\Downloads after successful install?

Question

I'm preparing to update our Enterprise from 10.7 to 10.8, but the server VM isn't very large and I'd love to get the 12+ GB of space back that these files are taking up. Does anyone know if these folders and installers are still needed once the Enterprise is set up and working?

C:\ArcGIS\Deployment\Downloads\

@StephenLee we are seeing the same files, are they safe to remove - do we have esri guidance here?  Can't find it in support docs.  cc @ashlee_robinson If so, mark Ben's answer as the solution?

Hey Alexandra Reid‌,

When you run the installers they unpack data to a location. Once you have finished with the installation both the downloads and the unpacked files can be deleted.

Thanks,

Ben
