Can you please post the path of these files, I was not aware of them.
.........And what are the file names we should be looking for to delete? Can anyone provide a couple examples?
Thanks!

Rejonzin,if your using Win10,go to windows explorer and on the menu bar at the top click on the view tab check the hidden items box,go to C dr then Programdata then cakewalk then command center then downloads folders,you'll find them in there.

Good to know, thanks sharke. I suppose holding the old files assists in rollbacks but for those of use who hardly ever rollback (and if need to would be just as happy to redownload as it would be such a rare occurence) it would be cool if they had an option to delete old files when newer versions are downloaded. Reason by Propellerheads had a similiar thing going on in the hidden files-- all of a sudden there'd be 15gigs of stuff you had no need for in there.

Yes, the files are cached for rollback. If the Command Center cannot find a file it needs, it will download the file again.
There is an option to delete files in the context menu for each item in the Command Center.

Look in the options in the Command Center, it will show you the path (and there is also a button to take you to the folder).

Whoa, mine was 60gb, so thanks for pointing this out!
I suppose moving them is "safe enough" (ie they're on my PC), but they would be "easily" available again.
Do they need to stay there, on C? The current/latest one, anyway?

You don't
need
to keep any of them, no.
I usually keep just the current and previous updates of each file, in case I need to rollback quickly.

Great tip sharke. 26 gigs here. Makes me wonder what other files from other programs could be purged. Thanks!
