updates going on different drive

[Mark G.]

Just reinstalled my OS, Win XP Pro, and now going through all of the
updates. Anyhow, I have 4 SATA hard drives on my computer with windows on my
Raptor 74gig drive. Anyhow, when these updates install, they are putting
folders on another drive. the folder names are an alphanumeric string like
'1f4af99a8906011f191860569e7bfa47'. Not sure why it is putting them on this
drive rather than the 'C' drive as the drive it is putting them on is my 'F'
drive (another SATA 250gig drive). There is plenty of room on the Raptor
drive yet. The updates are installing fine, it is just dumping this old data
there. Can't I just delete these folders with the files within once all of
my updates are complete? I recall an update delete/purge program I have
somewhere. Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

Nobody knows why? Ahh come on, I know someone out there has an
inclination....

You can delete the folders, they are remnents from the update instalation.
Why this happens I dont know, it happens occasionally on one of my PC's
