Low disk space

[Guest Mark]

Whenever a Windows Update comes down there is a hiden folder created in the

C:\Windows folder called "$NtUninstallKB890859$" or whatever the update is.

Is it safe to delete or move these folders? We are having space issues on

our boot drive and need to free up some space.

 

Thanks,

Mark

RE: Low disk space

 

These are only needed to un-install the relevant Windows update.

 

So yes, it is safe to move them to another partition (as we have done), or

off-line to CD-ROM or whatever.

 

FYI we liberated more space on our unexpandable C:\ drive by:

 

(1) 1.5 Gbyte by creating pagefile.sys on D:\ and restricting size of the

one on C:\ to a kernel-dump - look this up if you need it, I have forgotten

the details!

 

(2) 0.5 Gbyte by uninstalling most apps and reinstalling in D:\Extraprograms

- worked fine, including MS Office.

 

Now I am replacing BackupExec jobs with .bat files using ntbackup

Re: Low disk space

 

Mark,

 

As Newell posted, there are several things that can provide you with more

free diskspace!

You can try to run disk cleanup on your drives to get more free space(right

click the partition you want to clean up, on the general tab choose disk

cleanup).
