These are the uninstall routines for various service pack and or hotfixes.
If you don't expect to ever require to back down from them then yes you can
delete them.

If you don't plan on uninstalling the HotFixes, yes -- go ahead.

Well If you ever had to uninstall the service pack, killing those
folders isn't a good idea. But heck its only a few hundred meg. Who
cares?

Tony;
If there are no problems in a reasonable time, there never will be.
Also the chances of complications upon uninstall of a Service Pack
increase over time as other changes are made to the computer.
After a time, there is no reason at all to maintain those uninstall
files.
