Files in \windows\installer folder

L

Lee M.

There are almost 5 gigs of files (including dozens of about 100MB each) in
the \Windows\Installer folder (XP Home, SP2). I moved some of the oldest
ones to another folder and everything seems to be running fine. The 100meg
files are all labelled "windows installer patch."

What are these and can they be deleted?

Thanks.
