NTUninstall files

[Maria]

Hi -
I have over a GB of $NtUninstall files, in C:\Windows, for updates on my
computers. They have all been compacted, and just take up space. Can I
remove them - without hating myself in the morning???
Thanks - mb

Once you are sure you will keep the updates, those files are safe to
delete.

Go to C:\WINDOWS and delete "$NTServicePackUinistall$" about 240 mb.
Then go to Add/Remove Programs.
Click Service Pack 1, there will be an error since you just deleted
the file.
Click YES to delete the shortcut.

Use similar procedure to delete similar files for the updates.
