Hello,
After fresh installation of Vista I have more than 5G of files in
Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download folder. Can I remove these files?
Please advise
Thank you
Leszek

I have just removed these files a few days after posting my messages and
there were no problems with the system (and files were not recreated)
 
Files will be recreated (different one) the next time system is updated
from WU or MU...
