SoftwareDistribution\Download

Hello

I am seeing files in this folder that are 2-3 years old. Can these files be
safely deleted to clear space? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated?

Thanks in advance

Greg

If you recently installed Windows XP Service Pack 3:
Look for an odd folder name which is located here
C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download\cf8ec753e 88561d..........\
Note: the apparent random set of letter and number may vary from my
example above but whatever the name is, it will be more than
600MB in size and can be safely deleted.

You may also see a number of other folders or files located in the:
C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download\ directory
They also can be deleted.
