Guest coopfab Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 We're needing to free up space in our C drive. There have been a lot of security updates, updates, and Hotfixes installed on the server. Are these updates cummulative? That is, if the latest update includes all the previous updates, can the old updates be deleted? -- M. Cooper
Guest Meinolf Weber Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 Re: Deleting old updates Hello coopfab, Service packs include all previous updates, patches NOT. To free up some space start with diskcleanup utility and then think about deleting the c:\windows\$uninstallkbxxxxxx folders, if you are sure that you do not need to uninstall an update. Do NOT delete the $hfmig$ folder. Also you can stop the automatic update service and delete the c:\windows\softwaredistribution folder which can also grow up. It is only needed for the updating phase. After deleting the folder start the automatic update service and the folder structure will be rebuilded. If you have an additional harddisk in the server you can move the pagefile to the other harddisk.
