These are uninstall folders for service packs and various OS (operating system)  updates that WinXP installs over time (assuming you regularly update your system  or have it done automatically).     </DIV> <BR /><DIV>Cumulatively, these folders  can consume hundreds of megabytes on your hard drive, but they can be deleted as  long as you don’t plan to uninstall any of the updates. To be on the safe side,  you might want to first view the folders sorted by date and retain updates from  the last month or two (if you find one is causing a problem, you’ll want the  option of uninstalling it). Also, don’t delete the $hf_mig$ folder, because  future updates may need information it contains.    <IMG height="10" align="baseline" width="10" src="http://www.smartcomputing.com/siteart/pixgray.gif" /></DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/CDBE7FA9-9C60-4879-A7ED-C428F1069162/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
