Folders in 'C' containing .log files

OS = XP-MCE

'C' contains a fair number of folders, labels being mixed alpha-numeric,
16-20+ characters long, eg . b2997ef2dea84742d3d009

Each folder contains, with one or two exceptions, no more than one (1) .log
file a quarter meg to a meg+ in size.

For instance, one reads: msxml4-KB927978-enu.log All in all, they take up
about 20Gb of disk space.

What are these folders for? Are they needed? If so, for what?

Dumpable??

Thank You for feedback.

They are usually created when running an install but normally are deleted
when install completes. The one you mentioned was from a Microsoft update.
You can read them with any editor (Wordpad, etc). You should be able to
delete then.
