I have several directories in my C:/windows directory.
All are labeled similiar to the following:
$NtUninstallKB282010$

I have a small hard drive and was wondering if these would
be safe to delete. They seem to be backup's for a possible
rollback, incase I un-install a windows hotfix.

Can anyone advise. Thanks!

Hi

Those folders hold the files for the Windows Updates that you have
installed. If you delete those folders you won't be able to uninstall any
of the Updates listed in Add/Remove Programs. If you are sure that you
won't need to uninstall any Updates, then those folders can be deleted.
