This actually applies to Windows Servers as well as Windows XP. As happens,

as updates are downloaded and applied, the size of the Windows folder

continues to grow with $NtUninstallKB..... files and a folder $hf_mig$.



I generally delete the $NtUninstallKB... folders after awhile, but is it

safe to delete old KB folders in the $hf_mig$ folder. Is there a setting

somewhere that will purge things here as space is needed?



Thanks in advance,

Alternative solution:

1. When you get home, check under the cushions on your sofa.

2. Collect the abandoned coins.

3. Use the coins to buy a terabyte drive tomorrow morning.

4. Copy contents of existing drive to new disk.
