Removing Windows Update Setup/Install/temp files

[eLiu]

Hi all,
I'd like to free up some space on C: by getting rid of some of the setup/install/temp files from "Windows Update" patches/fixes. I'm talking about the folders in C:\Windows with names like "$NtUninstallKB873333$". This box has been running since before SP1, and there's just an ungodly number of these things.

I'm totally cool with not being able to roll back. If I ever needed to roll back that far, I'd just restore an image or start from scratch. I just want my disk space back.

So can I just delete those folders? Any other place(s) to go and delete stuff?

Thanks,
-Eric

CCleaner has that option in the Advanced section. http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4191.html

You can just delete them.
