Bug description

Nextcloud on Windows keeps old installer on path %appdata%\Nextcloud\Nextcloud-3.13.2-x64.msi. It has 110MB. By default, you should be deleting it if there is no installation problem. Approximately 100% of your users are very well capable of downloading the installer again should they need to reinstall this client. There is also a useless msi.log file having 3MB.

Steps to reproduce

I think it's from auto-update, but it may very well also be from a normal installation.

Expected behavior

All temporary files of an installer should be deleted, either immediately, or after some period, but definitely not more than 1 month.
