Strange you should ask about this. I just read an article about it.Clear space on your hard drive by deleting old Windows uninstall folders - Workers' Edge

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?Ron Denis ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:guispeak-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** guispeak-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:guispeak-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to** guispeak-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
