In the Window's Directory is a Folder named SoftwareDistribution. Can any of these files be deleted? There are some files that are a copy of files in the System Folder.

Thank you;
David

Hi David,

After a reboot, where the files stored there have been installed, then yes,
they can be deleted. This folder is used by Windows Update.
