Description
Description of the new feature / enhancement
While doing some spring cleaning I discovered through WinDirStat that PowerToys leaves behind executables used to patch new updates. I would like to propose an enhancement whereby the update executable is deleted after successfully updating to avoid filling up users' disk drives.
The path seems to be ...\AppData\Local\Microsoft\PowerToys\Updates
Scenario when this would be used?
After updating PowerToys to a new version
