"mjurado" wrote: is it safe to delete $NtUninstallKB....$ folders? Hi, It is safe, but these uninstallers for the KBs are merely your problem or the HDD/CPU usage hogs. Did you cleaned up other unwanted Applications/Programs to gain Space on your HDD? The downside of removing/deleting these unisntallers folder, you will not be able to uninstall any updates/hotfixes from your computer. HTH nass --- http://www.nasstec.co.uk .. |

If you're referring to the numerous "$NtUninstall...." folders within your C:\Windows directory and are confident that you won't need to uninstall either the most recent service pack or any of the subsequent hot-fixes, you can safely delete those folders. You should then be able to open the Control Panel's Add/Remove Programs applet and select each of the pertinent removal choices, in turn. You should get an error message stating that the removal files are missing, and asking if you'd like to delete the menu option. -- Bruce Chambers Help us help you: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/555375 They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. ~Benjamin Franklin Many people would rather die than think; in fact, most do. ~Bertrand Russell The philosopher has never killed any priests, whereas the priest has killed a great many philosophers. ~ Denis Diderot |

Safe is a relative term.

If you want to remove these because of a space issue that can be done,
otherwise I would leave them alone. A alternative is to put them on a backup disk (either DVD or a secondary hard drive) . If you use the alternative, be aware that each time you update you will get more of these and have to add them to where ever you saved them. "Tom Willett" wrote in message ...

mjurado wrote: is it safe to delete $NtUninstallKB....$ folders? The one thing to keep in mind is that there are Registry entries and a few misc. files that are tied to each hotfix/update. Deleting the $NTUninstallKB folders will leave these associated entries/files as orphans. Therefore you might consider a tool designed specifically to handle this task, such as 'Update Cleanup' (http://shareware.us/update.htm) HTH Birman Posted at http://microsofthelpforums.com |
