ACROBAT READER 6-Safe to delete ENUBIG directory?

[5150]

Howdy all - just built my new 3.2c and have installed ACROBAT READER 6 (amongst many other proggies as we know!)

I've run the 'plug-in tweak' and load time is 1-2 secs - very nice.

BUT - I've never been a big fan of any unnecessary TEMP files being left in my PC, and looking around I found a directory C:\Windows\Cache\Adobe Reader 6.0.1\ENUBIG which seems to contain the setup files for ACROBAT READER 6 - some 29Mb worth!

So I'm thinking this is similar to the ACROBAT READER 5 Temp files left behind by Adobe's less-than-optimal installation routine (clean it up people!).

Thus my Q: Can I safely delete the ENUBIG directory without consequence? Hopefully someone answering has already done this successfully. I imagine it's ok but I don't know, so better to ask (especially since I couldn't GOOGLE it!)

Cheers

5150 I just deleted mine to see what would happen, and so far so good No dead kittens - yet It seems like pdf's now start faster as well after removing this file

most programs are doing this and eventually all commercial ones will. that is to say that even after they install the programs to the directory you chose they STILL place the full setup files into another directory. they do this to show how "clever" they are thus doubling the space. rarely are you given an option to remove this from within their setup options or are even informed about it's existence. it's used to "repair itself" if the program notices that files are corrupt/modified/whatever, or you choose to.
if you go to most programs in the uninstall they have the three usual options, uninstall, add remove components and repair. so if you use repair or add components you can do it straight away without having to use the disc because it kept these "opened and ready to use" setup files in it's own little directory just for that, to show the user how smart it is. too bad some of the bigger programs do exactly the same even thou they may be 300+ mb. so that's a 600mb footprint for what would normally be a 300mb program....

Is the EMUMIN file the same deal as EMUBIG? Can I safely delete it? Seems that you might get 3X what you need when you go to install a file (what you installed plus multiple installation files).
