| 568475 | 2007-07-12 18:14:00 | My windows folder contains hundreds of folders:eg $NtUninstallKB873339$. What are they? They look like MS updates or patches to me. Can I uninstall/delete them? |

Hi, they are the replacement files for uninstalled pateches, so unless you are going to uninstall MS windows updates, you dont need them so yes you can delete them if space is un issue. Though really, unless you are a technician, you shouldnt be poking your nose in the windows directory. |
