Issue
After uninstalling a previously installed version of ecu.test or trace.check, I notice that not all of the disk space is freed up.
Where does your .msi or .exe installer or your product store data?
Solution
Redundant product installers in the Package Cache directories of Windows
During the installation of ecu.test or trace.check a copy of the .msi or .exe setup file is stored in a subfolder of %ProgramData%\Package Cache or %LocalAppData%\Package Cache. Microsoft Windows uses these files to repair, uninstall, modify or reinstall the program.
Thus, it is strongly recommended to keep these files for all versions of ecu.test or trace.check currently installed on the system. Due to a bug these cached installers are not deleted when uninstalling or updating existing products, nor when installing recent product versions.
You can search for files containing ecu.test or trace.check within these folders and delete those that belong to product versions that are currently not installed.
