Updates fill my HD!

[spondee]

I only have 13G. I had 3 left, then d/l all recent 'updates'. Now HD
is FULL.

I checked in add/remove and there are more 'updates & hot fixes' there
than programs!

Can I delete any of these???

YOu could possibly uninstall all of the updates, then go back to Windows
Update site and reinstall those updates neccesary (critical updates and
security updates). This might help you out a bit.

You can but you shouldn't.
If you uninstall them, you also remove the fix.
However you can safely delete the uninstall files:

You can also use disk cleanup to remove all but the most recent restore
point.

Uh, thank you, but am LONG past this simple measure, which is
something I do routinely...
