Hi,
They are there when you do Windows Updates. They are the
uninstall files associated with all the fix updates in the
add/remove programs of control panel.If you have no problems with any of
the hotfixes which have been downloaded and installed, you can safely
delete them.

But.....there isn't a wheel to be recreated here, Ramesh. Gather and point

Or you could try a utility called Update Cleanup. It's pretty much a fool proof alternative to using MY COMPUTER and hacking the Registry. It's basically a control panel that lets you delete those $NtUninstallKB folders and clean up the related Registry entries all at the same time. You can find a download at http://shareware.us/update.htm
