Windows Update Temp Files

I would like to know how to get rid of the 30 folders that Windows Update has
put on my data storage drive. The way I understand it Windows Update chooses
the drive with the most available space and places its wupdate setup files
there. Is there a way to remove these files after the updates have been
completed?

Since you did not say, it is difficult to know exactly which files you
are referring.
See if this is what you want:

The folders I am referring to are named with a hex code designation. For
instance one of them is named "025ff2f30378f48bb048ed". I beleive they are
critical updates but when I try to delete them it tells me "Access Denied"
the files are in use. Every one of these folders contains a folder named
"Update". Every "Update" folder contains at least a file named setup.exe and
may contain one or more .dll files. By the way this is on a machine running
WIN2K Advanced Server that is in a cluster. The drive in question is shared
in the cluster.
