My C:\Windows\Installer folder is huge: 14 GB. My understanding is that this is where failed updates allez dans die, and it should not be this big. Quel est le correct way to clean it on Windows 10?

There is a relatively new tool called PatchCleaner which detects and can delete old MSI/MSP files.
From the PatchCleaner page:
Windows Installer Directory When applications are installed and updated on the Windows Operating System a hidden directory
“c:\Windows\Installer” is used to store the installer (.msi) files and
the patch (.msp) files.
Generally these files are important as during updating, patching or
uninstalling software it will use the .msi/.msp files. If you
blanketly delete all the files in this folder, you will find yourself
needing to rebuild windows.
Over time as your computer is patched and patched again, these
installer files become outdated and orphaned. They are no longer
required, but they can take up many gigabytes of data.
PatchCleaner PatchCleaner identifies these redundant/orphaned files and allows you to either:
(Recommended) Move them to another location. Si vous voulez to play it
safe, just move them to another location, and vous pouvez always copy them
back. Delete them.
First use the move option and wait a few days before you delete the moved files.
