stange folder after install updates

hello,

I've some computers with XP SP3 which after install some updates appear
"strange folders". For example there're some folders in c: called:

6ac86d2ad9be93fc0f0ded or 22553c8e848b459d87bc49

I think that these folder are created when the installation on the update
fails but my problem is in order to delete them I have to put myself as
propietary of the folder manually, Is there any way to delete them
automatically?

XP SP3: Post Installation Cleanup

"Check that the installation's temporary folder got properly removed. It
will be on the drive where you downloaded the setup files (probably C and
will have a long name of random characters, such as C:\af74d61c43av. If it
is still around, delete it."
