Over the years, in my C:\Winnt folder , I've accumulated 69 folders with names similiar to
$NtUninstallKB896688-IE6SP1-20051004.130236$ . My PC is running fine. Do I need these ? Can I delete these folders ? The impact of
doing so ? Is it just that "Control Panel add/remove " will NOT show me software that can be removed - is that what these are for
? It's not a big deal - but it's 269mb worth of .... what ?? I'm thinking that I may have needed them at the time to rollback ,
but - since the pc has been working fine for a year - they're pretty useless now. Agree ????

If your PC is OK, delete them. However, I suggest keeping those that may be two weeks or
youger just in case. You can tell thereir dat of installation by the date of the folder.
