Folder in C drive

[Guest]

There is a folder inside my C drive named: 08c98dc38967etc. It has a long
number/alphabet name and inside this folder is a text document named
msxml4-KB927etc. with a lot of info for example here are a few lines:

=== Verbose logging started: 11/18/2006 17:24:33 Build type: SHIP UNICODE

MSI (c) (58:B8) [17:24:33:968]: Cloaking enabled.

It was created last Saturday, November 18, 2006. Does anyone know what it
is? Is it safe to delete?

Thank you,

Temp directory created during a patch install.
If you can delete it - yes - it should be safe to delete.
