My little XP laptop needs some disk space housecleaning.

There is a C:\Windows\Downloaded installations\ has 3 cryptivally named
folders in it that add up to 70MB.

Is there any way I can delete them?
 
Yes it is ok to delete the content of the Folder.
Also delete the stuff in folders above if you want to free some place:

C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download\
C:\Documents and Settings\your username\Local Settings\Temp
C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\Local Settings\Temp
C:\Documents and Settings\LocalService\Local Settings\Temp
C:\WINDOWS\TEMP

C:\Documents and Settings\your username\Local Settings\Temporary
Internet Files
C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\Local Settings\Temporary

C:\Documents and Settings\your username\Local Settings\History
C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\Local Settings\History
