Re: Windows Updates Files left on disk

David,

Windows Update downloads the install packages to the drive with the
most free space . IF you downloaded and saved the updates then they
can be used again in the future if the need arises. If they were
installed from WU then the folders you cite can be deleted as they
have no further use.
