Deleting Files

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

I would like to free-up some hard disk space. I noted a slew of folders in
the windows directory which are blue and have names such as
$NtUninstallKB817778$. What is the significance of the blue color, and can
they safely be deleted?
Thanks,
Robert

How can I save space after installing a Service Pack or other updates?

Carey,
I don't know what to do after I access the web site you reference. Could you
lend me a hand?
Thanks
Robert

That link leads to 404 error i.e., "file not found".

Carey,
I'm lost. Going to the site you suggest is for a 404 error, file not found.
