Hi everyone !
Since a week I try Windows 7 Enterprise x32.
On my old XP.Prof.Sp3 after windows upadates I delete ( of course at my risk ) the folders:
- C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download\
- C:\WINDOWS\$hf_mig$\
- all C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB********$

With this clean, I save more & more space

Someone know which folders ( see up) are used from Seven ?

Thanks in advances !

Luciana, Welcome to the Sevenforums!

I am afraid I am having a hard time understanding all of what you meant to say. I have taken the liberty of writing it out as I read it, based off of what I could understand, but please correct me if I got any of it wrong.

Hello everyone!
A week ago I tried Windows 7 Enterprise x86 (32bit) on my old XP Professional (with SP3) computer.
After the windows updates, I deleted (at my own risk) these folders:
- C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download\
- C:\WINDOWS\$hf_mig$\
- C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB********$ (All of this folder)

This way I am able to save more space

Does anyone know if Windows 7 uses these folders?

Thank you in advance!
