So, to alter the location of where Command Center DOES download files, launch Command Center, then click on the Gear button, which opens settings. Click on the Paths, and change the path for downloads to some other drive that has more available room.
I don't recall whether or not changing the path will result in Command Center offering to copy things over to the new location or not. If it doesn't, you can simply do a cut/paste of all the existing downloaded installer files from the old location to the new, and then moving forward - any new downloads would be located at the new path location.
The other comment made in another post above about manually trimming the downloaded installers is also a good one - where YOU decide how far back you want to be able to go with doing any rollbacks, and then manually delete any installers that are beyond how far back you are likely to want/need to rollback to. Even if you were to want to rollback to a version you had deleted the installer for, Command Center would simply download that version again.
I have a primary drive (C:) that is solid-state, and only 110 GB, and by moving Command Center downloaded content to another drive, and by using the Location tab for all of my user's basic folders (Documents, Pictures, Downloads, Videos, etc.), I moved all of my user data off to a different drive too - and I now have over 50 GB of free space remaining on that rather small C: drive.
Hope that helps,
