466564 2006-06-27 00:51:00 HI,I was wondering if all the KB uninstall update files in the Windows Folder can be put in one folder or deleted as I guess the monthly updates would not be normally uninstalled.Would my 'tidy up' cause problems.rdee rdee (1809)
466565 2006-06-27 14:35:00 Good Question, I have 93 of them! Vince (406)
466566 2006-06-27 15:15:00 Google suggests:

"These folders contain the uninstall information for the update you install . That means that you will be unable to uninstall an update if you delete these folders .

You may leave them there unless you need hard drive space .

If your system is stable, and if you no longer plan to uninstall an update, then go ahead and remove the corresponding $NtUninstall . . . . . folders . "

466567 2006-06-27 19:17:00 Right after I made my post above I downloaded the latest CCleaner, 1.30.310 and installed it. When arranging the settings the way I like them, I discovered that it has an option to clean up the $NtUninstall folders. look on the "Cleaner" tab under "Advanced". :) Vince (406)
