[Joe Sulla]

I have some main level folders that have quid numbers for thier names.

What are they?

Can they be deleted safely?

You don't provide any information to substatntiate the claim.

Are you they aren't just long and odd hex named folders such as....

c:\8d36a244d71e86add290f386dd6419008d44

If yes, they are just remnants of Microsoft HotFixes being installed after a Windows
Update and for some unknown reason, they were not deleted after the HotFix was installed.

They can be safely deleted. It is also possible they will generate "access denied" if you
do try to delete them. In that case you will have to "Take Ownership" and give yourself
the priveledge to delete them.

Thanks, I looked in some of them and in each instance I found a file which
when opened appeaed to be MS generated.
