Hi Everyone,

Running Windows XP SP2 on my computer.

I have two questions:

1 ) What are the $NTUninstaller folders in my computer's Windows directory?
2 ) Can I delete them without affecting my system?

Thank you $NTUninstallers are the uninstallers to the MS Updates. Security patches and such. They can be removed. I would only recommend doing this if the machine has been running fine for a while after all the LATEST updates. Once they are removed there is no getting them back.

CCleaner has a setting that will remove them. Under the Advanced settings check the Hotfix Uninstallers and they will be removed.Thanks!Personally, I think it's best to backup these files to a CD before removing them. But so far, I've NEVER had any problems. Things can still go wrong, though.This is how i handle updates but as always Your MILEAGE May Vary:

I do not use Automatic Updates.
I wait at least 2 weeks after each Patch Tuesday before i install any patches.
In that time PERIOD i check the Forums i belong to for any complaints/issues with the latest patches.
After that i manually install only the ones that have no issues. I LEAVE them on my system for about another 2 weeks just to make sure.

At that point i move them to an $NTUninstall$ folder on a seperate partition. When that folder reaches CD size i burn them for backups and delete them...
