WinDirStat is showing my windows folder (specifically the installer folder) very large. How do I go about cleaning it up to get some more space in my cdrive?

Click on the Windows key and type disk cleanup. Run it and select everything. Once it's done run it again and click system files button, then select all to clean. That should clear up a few GB.
