I'm assuming the folders under WINNT that look like $NtUninstallKB823559$
are unistall folders for the Microsoft system updates. Is there any reason
to keep them after the install?

If I have no intention of uninstalling the system updates, is there any
reason I can't delete the folders under WINNT that look like:

$NtUninstallKB823559$

Well, they're there just in case you want to uninstall single patches
- for example if you find that for some reason one of them is causing
troubles to an application.

I've recently cleared all the $NTUnistall with older patches: no
trouble.

Maybe $NtUninstallKB823559$ folder or the files within are locked by
system: you could check handles and locks by using a third party
application such as Procexp by Sysinternals

If you're sure you won't want to uninstall any of those updates, you can
delete the folders. If you're cautious, copy them to a CD first.
