John Callaway expressed precisely :
How do I remove directories that were created with numbers & letters? they're probably files created during an update session and yes they are tricky to delete. Although you may be the only user and the "Administrator", you still must take ownership of them before you can delete them Try the instructions located he http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308421 -- Zo I bought this tagline with all of my lottery money. |

You must be referring to all those folders with really stupid names that consist of letters and numbers, and are really LONG. There are an awful lot of them, but I would not have a clue which ones to remove, so I just leave them. However I have found some empty ones. If they're empty, I do remove them, because they're not doing anything. |
