    Hi There,

    We have a 2000 server that is running out of disk space on the 1st partition however there is over 295mb of space that can be clawed back if I move or delete the hidden $ntuninstall & $msiuninstall folders that are held in the c:\winnt folder.

    Can these folders be deleted or moved without causing any problems..???

    Many thanks

    :confused:

    Hello catsystems,

    Yes, they can be moved or deleted.

    If deleted, you can't uninstall the MS updates they are for. If copied, they can be moved back for use.

    I don't see the point of keeping the really old ones though, uninstalling a hot fix from 6 months or more ago I think would cause more problems than it would solve.

    Regards - Charles
