OK to delete $NtUninstallKB.. directories?

I have dozens of directories off of C:\WINNT\ named \$NtUninstallKB....
My system is stable; is it ok to delete these directories?

Show the dates of the folders. Keep anything that is two weeks old or less so you can
uninstall the patch/HotFix if needed. Anything older than 2 weeks old, you can delete to
save space.

Assuming the hotfix/update was installed and no problems arose from the update, then yes, they can be deleted. However, note that there are still some System Registry entries left behind if you simply use MY COMPUTER to delete these directories. To properly do the job you need to clean out/delete the associate Registry items.

Having said all this, an easier and safer solution would be to use a tool called Update Cleanup. Details can be found at: http://shareware.us/update.htm
