  If a client machine downloads and installs updates on a machine from WSUS server, will the machine store the update files in the folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download always? Even after installing the update successfully on the machine.?

  Thanks!

  Yes, after the successfull install the contents of that folder fade slowly over a couple of months. That folder (softwaredistribution) should be self maintaining.

  Thanks Antwesor for your reply.

  Can i get an exact time when it clears the update files from the folder? Is there any registry entry or something else.?

  The Windows Update Agent should purge the files from the ~\Download folder no more than 10 days after successful installation.

  If you find files/folders in the ~\Download folder older than 10 days, you can safely delete them from that folder.
