Weird Uninstall Update Files

OK. I got the Sony laptop up to SP2. There's a whole slug of update
uninstall files in the Windows directory, since I hadn't updated in over 2
years.

Many of the files are almost duplicates, like this:

$NtUninstallKB885835$
$NtUninstallKB885835_0$

Which of these are the real uninstall file? I'd like to clear out the
others. Thanks.

Them are the real uninstall folders. The dupes are the ones with an
underscore and a number at the end. Like this
>> $NtUninstallKB885835_0$

But zero isn't really a number, is it ? <w>

Thank you.

And you are correct that zero ain't no number -- heck, it's only a
placeholder. Kind of like a bookmark.
