Software distribution folder & Net Bb928365 update

[RoseW]

I uninstalled Net 2. with Add Remove
Manually went to Windows Update.
The recent KB928365 patch was still recommended and still listed as 'already
downloaded'
The download was previously deleted from the Software distribution folder.
Automatic Update is shut off via Services at the moment.

My original error code was 1603 which I think references the MSI exe Mine
is the version 3 or the most current.
Is there a remnant in the Software distribution folder that holds info that
says NET 2 still exists and that the Kb928365 patch is present?

May I delete all subfolders in the Software distribution folder?

If KB928365 is still being recommended, then the .NET 2 Framework was
not completely removed from the system. Run the Windows Installer
Cleanup Utility and use it to remove the installation settings for .NET

You may delete all of the subfolders in SoftwareDistribution, but really
only need to delete the contents of -

Download
EventCache

and that will remove the downloaded KB928365.
