After several updates of the machines from my NT doamin (clients are
Windows NT 4 Workstation SP 6a and Windows 2000 SP4), I noticed that
"Windows Update" folder in C:\Program Files is growing, I would like if I
may drop its files?
In C:\WINNT folder, Windows Update is creating several floders too
($NtUninstallKB....$) , one per each patch that Windows Update has
installed. May I delete the oldest folders?
Regards,
Patty

These are all uninstall files it is not reccomended that
you delete them but when you app either service packs you
have to open to not archive files this will help. also
delete all of your temp files. but i have deletes the
uninstall files and all was ok but be carefull just in
case you need to rollback bue to an issue you will have
problems. try going to www.download.com and download
uninstaller pro or somthing like that program this will
clean out all unwanted files. or run the disk cleanup and
check compressed ild files this will safely remove all
unwanted files
all the best
