Uninstallers left from Windows Update can be deleted

[John Butler]

I normally remove the uninstaller files from Windows Folder after I am
satisfied they are OK. I checked the folder recently and found these still
remaining

$NtServicepackUninstallIDNMitigation
SNtServicePackUninstallNLSDownlevelmapping$
$NtUninstallMSCompPackV1$
$NtUninstallWIC$
$NtUninstallWMFDist11$
$NtUninstallwmp11$
$NtUninstallWudf01000$
$NtUninstallWudf01005$

Are they needed or can i safely delete them.

If you do not intend to uninstall any installations (.NET Framework 3.0,
WMP11 updates etc.), these folders can be safely deleted.
