Microsoft recently released Microsoft Office 2016. The application uses App-V/Click To Run technology.
So after installing it, many users face problem of free space on their disk, as the new Office uses several GB to install.
If you have the same problem, just follow the instructions below.
We'll describe how you can free up disk space after you install Office 2016 Click To Run (CTR).
The problem is caused by Office 2016 Click To Run (CTR), which downloads a large amount of updates, e.g. about 1GB per update, without deleting the files after the installation is complete.
To free disk space after installing the Office 2016 Click To Run (CTR), do the following:
In File Explorer, open the following folder:
C: \ ProgramData \ Microsoft \ ClickToRun
There, you will find all the files that were created recently (in the last few months). Keep the UserData, MachineData, and DeploymentConfig files.
Delete all the rest that are too old and may have been replaced by newer ones updates.
This will help you free up enough GBs on your disk.
Note that you should use your judgment to clean this file.
Create a backup if it is required by the files you are deleting or simply move them to see if Office 2016 is running correctly.
