Random folders in C:/ and external

[blakesarockstarr]

So I have been noticing that some really random folders are showing up in c:/ and my external. They have names like: becf73cc0a13c8fc8a992c997eb8d8 and inside there is a little notepad doc that appears to be some sort of log but I can't figure out what or why it's there. Names like: msxml4-KB927978-enu. Can I delete these folders and why do they show up. There are like 20 or so on one and about 10 on the other.

Hi,

These folders are mere logs of Windows Updates and are consequently nothing to worry about. As far as I know, its safe to delete them :).

I agree with santa, but backup your hard disk first with norton ghost or similar. DONT REGRET SOMETHING YOU COULD HAVE AVOIDED!!

Good Luck
