What is C:\Windows\Downloaded installations\ used for & Can I delete any of it?

[Guest Al Dykes]

My little XP laptop needs some disk space housecleaning.

 

There is a C:\Windows\Downloaded installations\ has 3 cryptivally named

folders in it that add up to 70MB.

 

Is there any way I can delete them?

C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download\

C:\Documents and Settings\your username\Local Settings\Temp

C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\Local Settings\Temp

C:\Documents and Settings\LocalService\Local Settings\Temp
