I have a lot of small (10-20kb) files that are Wordpad documents beginning
with either KB or a Q followed by 6 numbers. They seem to be logs of things
- perhaps Windows updates? I have figured out the modem logs. I also want
to know if I can delete all of these logs safely or if I should move them to
a disc for storage. Thanks a bunch!
 
The KBnnnnnn.log are installation log files are useful when there is a
problem installing a particular hotfix / update. Those files can be safely
deleted, or compress them to a single ZIP file and store in a separate
location if you wish.
