Under XP these folders were subfolders of Windows, and I could delete
them. Where are they under Vista?

Hello Daniel,

In Vista it is not a good idea to delete them, because they are needed when
you have to repair your system.

Hi Daniel,

In addition to Meinolf's post. If you want to uninstall a Windows
Update, or just see them, then this will show you how.

Hi Shawn!
Actually I want to delete the folder once I'm sure I don't want to
uninstall the update.
