Hi,

Yep, that's a lot. How do you know it's Microsoft Update that's doing it?
What folder are the files in?

You have multiposted this. Have you tried the suggestion(s) that Mark Ferguson has posted for your issue earlier

I took the advice. Deleted all restore points except the last one, ran disk
cleanup and emptied the recycle bin. Gained over one hundred gigs! Thanks for
the help.
