    I'm fighting the free space demon on the system partition of my business server. In the WINNT folder is what I think is an uninstall folder for ever Windows update that has ever been loaded on the server - they are all named something like this $NtUninstallKB896688$. There are hundreds of them taking up a lot of space. Can any of these be safely deleted - or at lease burned to disk and removed from the drive? I'm under 15% free space on that partition and need to free up some space.

    If you are certain that you don't need to unistall an Win Update then yes, they are safe to delete.

    You should look into getting a cloning software and larger drive:D

    Thanks Steve. Can't imagine uninstalling an update from longer ago than a couple of months - but I think I'll just burn everything to disc before I delete it. Thanks for your help.
