    Clean of the Windows updates folders


    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!
