Strange TANE taking up C drive space

Hey all; I was cleaning up my computer, especially the C drive as it is running out of space. Using Win10 services/storage C drive it showed a 15.5GB TANE folder on C, but I do not have TANE installed, just 19. I went to the folder in question and it only shows as 800mb, anyone have any idea what is going on? My 19 is installed on my D drive (15.5GB ???) and my build folder is on my E drive (156GB). I find it strange that win10 is saying TANE is in my appdata folder at 15.5GB, yet it only shows at 800mb, and the 19 install on my D drive is the size in question.

You can safely zap it.

When you install TANE or TS19 the default is to use the appdata folder. Normally I use a folder labelled N3V. Anyway it stores things like your downloaded stuff there and I think it also stores backups and those can get quite large.

Thanks for the reply, but don't you think that it is shown as 15.5GB on windows/system/storage but in explorer it is only 800mb, and then the actual install of TRS19 on the D drive is 15.5gb? Do you think it is linking the appdata folder route to the install on D? My concern is that the sizes don't match.

***Just thought of this: what if I copy the TRS19 15.5gb folder to my E, then uninstall via the system/storage, IF it does nuke my D drive 19 install can I just copy the folder back into the D drive or will it corrupt everything?***
