1348924 2013-07-15 03:57:00 Hi,

Recently there was a a folder in my hard drive with a weird name e.g. c106037bb554d0de9c24.

There are lots of files inside it with names : 1025, 1026, 1028 ....etc.

Does anyone know about these files?

Thanks

1348926 2013-07-15 06:53:00 Some of these folders are MS install files. I think one of the .net framework installs, installs these kind of folders. Whats the name of a file in one of the folders? Speedy Gonzales (78)
1348927 2013-07-15 08:38:00 Most of files are named with numbers e.g 1049, 1050 etc and only one with letter "Graphic".

Can I delete this folder?

Thanks

1348929 2013-07-15 09:24:00 I get them on my external hard drive from time to time when used with different computers and often I can't take ownership of them with Win7, Linux deletes the though gary67 (56)

As long as the updates aren't currently installing (i.e. you're not running automatic updates at the time), it should be fine to delete the folder.
