Hi, I'v re-installed windows a number of times, also I'v
used windows update a number of times. Each time I do
this I end up with huge directories with odd names that I
cannot delete without formatting! I don't want to format
but I need to remove them!

here's a screnshot to show the directories...

Please help!
 
Samuel, if the folder names have these symbols $$ then you are looking
at Uninstall folders for your updates.
If you are happy with the WinUpdates then you can delete them. I do.
