    Deleting windows updates from the uninstall list


    Hello.
    Hello.
    I haven't been able to get a straight answer on this query.
    I would like to be able to get rid of the uninstall information left over when you install a windows update,
    like you can on windows XP.
    Is there a way to do this?
    I know there is a function in disk cleanup that is supposed to do that, but when I look in the list of installed updates, they're still there. I don't just want to hide the updates from being shown, I want to get rid of them altogether.
    Thanks.

    Hi Hyperactive,
    have a look at this thread
    Script or command to delete contents of Software Distribution folder? - Windows 7 Help Forums


    notes
    there are actually >> 2 << windowsUpdate holding folders, you can only delete this one.
    see the WindowsUpdate GUI -- top/bottom left view update history & installed.

    Updates were installed will change to NEVER
