I am having problems with the Windows 11 installation and wanted to find out where does the Microsoft Installation Assistant store its downloaded files? I need to delete them and try downloading them again. I found an ESD folder but that was for Windows 10. Thanks for any help.

They are stored root of C: partition, you may have to enable viewing hidden folders.
