Unwanted Hex directory - can I delete?

I posted "Odd boot failure" in this newsgroup, 12/21/2006, that seems was
too much a challenge for any response. Today I had to perform another
restore, the same way, for the same reasons. (That's just for background)

Today's restore gave me back my system but left me with an 88MB directory
tree attached to my C:/ boot drive. I call it a 'Hex' directory because its
long name appears like one: "fff231db843425ad12 (and on and on it goes)"

Can I safely delete this folder? (optional: why do you suppose it was
created?) Thanks -

Looks like possibly a temp directory created by windows update. Yes, delete
it or rename and delete next week.

In response to your earlier post;
I know you stated you ran chkdsk, but perhaps consider running both the HD
manu checking utility, and an extensive memory test http://www.memtest.org/
Also if these odd boot probs occur after the sys has been shutdown for a
period, perhaps reseat any internal cards/connectors.
I assume also, you do NOT use winupdate drivers.
