I've got a bunch of folders and their files in blue with a similar naming convention - I assume they were part of the XP SP2 install.

Can I delete them?

Thanks
Mal

I'm not quite sure if you can delete them all - I think some are required to stay resident by Windows - maybe someone can clarify this?

Unless you need the space I would just leave them alone.

There is a program to do this, I downloaded it the other day but now I can't find where I got it from.
