I reticently updated my computer running XP Pro to SP2 and I ran CCleaner and it came up with 195MB of Hotfix Uninstallers. I am VERY limited on space because my computer has a pathetic HDD so would it be advisable to delete them to free up space?Generally it is OK to uninstall the $NTUninstaller$ files but do so at your own risk...

Normally what i do is wait at least 3 weeks of average to above average usage of the machine after a hotfix and make sure it's not a "hotbreak"...

If you have a burner you could also burn them to CD for reference if need be.

Hard drives are fairly REASONABLE right now...i'd consider going shopping soon.

A Perfect Example of a hotfix gone bad happened recently so you may want to rethink this.If I burn them to a CD I can still use them if I need to ?I've done this before. There's one uninstaller you shouldn't delete, for some reason, and I can't remember which one it is...sorry. The thing I did was zip them all up and move them to the zip file RETAINING the path INFORMATION and then SIT for two weeks and see if everything is stable. Then I used a specialize program to delete them painstakingly, rather than having to go through each of them one at a time in Add/Remove. If/when you do remove the uninstallers, don't do it through Add/Remove Programs. This would uninstall the hotfixes. You need to manually delete the appropriate folders first. And then you can use Add/Remove Programs to delete the entries.

I imagine you'd be able to use these after backing them up to a CD, but I've never done it, so I can't say for sure.Thanks guys.No problem. If you have any trouble, just let us know.
