    Deleting IE7 updates from folder C:\WINDOWS will create any problem

    I have some little issue in my mind, when my IE7 download the updates it saved on the C:/windows location, it were many files with the the minimum amount of size, so i am thinking that deleting those files will create any problem, i will keep only latest downloaded file instead of all other files.

    I think you do not need to delete any of the file downloaded by the IE7, this is because it may create problem, the problem would be that it won't start your IE browser properly or sometimes, some functions from your browser won't work or it may also possible to crash down your browser permanently, and it would be only fix when you freshly install IE7 on your machine. And the downloaded files won't take much space to execute.

    The downloaded folder contains installer information for programs that are installed on your system Should you ever need to uninstall IE7 and that folder's missing, you'll have to do a Repair to Install of Windows. Deleting this folder or files from it could cause problems with your installed programs or future uninstallation attempts.Deleting this folder or files from it could cause problems with your installed programs or future uninstallation attempts.
