    Hi everyone!
    I have 253 updates installed on my Vista PC, and I'm doubt when I may delete some of the old updates..
    It's updates like:
    Hotfix to Microsoft Windows (KB******)
    Update to Microsoft Windows (KB******) (many)
    Security Update for 2007 MS Office System
    Securityupdate to MS Windows (KB******) (many, many)

    Many of them are from 2008-2009, and if they are useless, I don't want to fill the pc with them..

    Thanks

    Welcome to WindowsBBS :)

    Each and every one of those updates are required - some are to fix specific issues both operational and security and many are cumulative and rely on previous updates being installed. Uninstalling them would not only compromise your security, but may also foul up your computer.

    I assume you have SP2 installed?
