    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.?
