Hello,

It is also possible to do this in PowerShell using the MSIPatches module:

# Install moduleInstall-Module -Name MSIPatches
# Display patch informationGet-MsiPatch
# List orphaned packagesGet-OrphanedPatch
# It is advisable to save (move in this case) orphaned filesGet-OrphanedPatch | Move-OrphanedPatch -Destination D:\Backup_Installer
# Delete files directlyGet-OrphanedPatch | Remove-ItemRelated links
