Do included install files get deleted on traget pc after finishing a install job?

Hi

When deploying a package using PDQ Deploy:
when you use the Include Entire Directory then this dir will be copied to each client. eg Office = +2GB

1.) Will this dir stay on the client after a successful deployment of the package (eg Office) or does pdq deletes this ?
2.) What with a failed deployment?

I need to know as there is not much space on the client pc's: lots of local profiles (average of 60 users/pc) and mainly small ssd.
thank You

Ugo

    Uso,

    Whether the package deployment is successful or fails does not matter, it will clean up the files afterwards. PDQ does not leave the files on the machine after the deployment has concluded, it cleans them up.

    There might be some fringe case where the pdq deploy runner service on the local machine is killed and that somehow prevents the files from being cleaned up or something like that, but I've never seen it happen.
