I have many hot fixes in A & D program. Why do I need to keep all of them?
What would happen if I deleted the old ones?

These are the critical updates (mostly security-oriented) that you've been
downloading all along. Do not remove these, or you will put back the
security exposures they were designed to fix. You can however delete their
backup files. See http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/xp_hotfix_backup.htm

As Ken suggested - do not delete - however you can uncheck the "show
updates" check box.
