    Uplay taking up ~19GB on my SSD. WTF is up with that?

    I've recently been using SteamMover to move my Steam/Origin/Uplay games off of my SSD and onto my HDD. After moving all my Origin and Uplay games, I noticed that Uplay was still taking ~19GB worth of space. After looking through the files, I saw that in the folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\cache\installers\444" there are 12 cabinet files (.cab) taking up 1-2GB each and are labelled "data1, data2, data3, etc."

    Anyone know what these files are for and if I can just delete them?

    @andorski: They're left over installation files so you can delete them.

    There's an option in uplay to delete installers and you can probably set it to delete them automatically after the installation.
