When displaying all hidden folders there is a subfolder entitled $hf_mig$ in
the Windows folder. This appears to have been generated when using Windows
Update and contains file folders with titles KB834707, KB873339, KB885835,
KB885836, KB886185, KB887797 and KB890175.

Can these folders be eliminated?

Don't delete the $hf_mig$ directory as this is a general distribution
release store. The others are hotfix and service pack uninstall routines. If
you're sure you'll never need to back down then you can delete them.
