Description
Details of the scenario you tried and the problem that is occurring:
After installing SQL Server, xSQLServerSetup does not clean up the install files that were copied from SourcePath, resulting in an extra 3GB of disk usage. Not a huge deal, but if there is an error in the DSC Configuration and the install fails, DSC will keep retrying and eventually exhaust the server's disk space.
The DSC configuration that is using the resource (as detailed as possible):
n/a
Version of the Operating System, SQL Server and PowerShell the DSC Target Node is running:
n/a
What module (SqlServer or SQLPS) and which version of the module the DSC Target Node is running:
n/a
Version of the DSC module you're using, or 'dev' if you're using current dev branch:

Research direction
Start by reproducing a SqlSetup installation that copies files from SourcePath, then inspect where the resource handles temporary install files. Done means copied files are removed after installation and failed DSC retries do not keep consuming disk space.
