Strange you should ask about this.  I just read an article about it.

Looks like it is pretty safe to remove them as long as you keep the most recent and keep the deleted ones in the recycle bin for a few days.

Subject: [guispeak] NT asterisk uninstall folders


Using windows XP home, service pack 2 with all current updates, I discovered that the first 180 folders that showed under my windows folder had titles which were variants of NT*uninstall. 180 folders of what seem like they must be for updates of windows seems a bit extreme. Would anyone know if these are necessary to keep over time? I would assume that the first 100 or so have been used long enough that it is unlikely I would be uninstalling them. Am I unusual in finding I have this large number of NT*uninstall folders in my windows folder? Do these have a function in addition of facilitating the removal of updates to windows and IE which might turn out to misbehave?
