Folders and Files won't delete

External Since: Feb 17, 2010 Posts: 1

I use WindowsXP with IE8.
I have hundreds of folders and files in my windows directory that I did not
put there.
These folders and files all begin and end with a $ sign like thus =
$NtUninstallKB822603$.
How can I delete these please?

Those are placed there by the windows updates. If you don't ever plan on
having to uninstall a security update, you can delete them.

You say they won't delete. How did you try to delete them, and what was the
error message when you tried?
