Printer Installation - Installer Cleanup

[RangerZ]

I have noticed that when I install a printer (Mostly AIO but also others) that there is often a folder left in the root of the C:\[printer]. This appears to be the extracted installer.

I would like to remove this from my C drive.

If in the future I can directly run the Setup.exe from this content, then I would relocate this to my NAS. If not just delete this.

I retain the original installation file in a folder on my NAS, so if I truly need to reinstall this I can.

Any issues removing this folder?
Should I keep any of the driver files someplace?
