Safe to delete this folder?
I'm suspicious because it seems to contain all the KB's -- 43 of them -- but
aren't they IN the OS?
It's 125 MB and if its useless it should go.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
DSH

these are windows update as well as any service packs that were not
installed with the OS

But do they need to be kept?

Yep...
I read that -- not very enlightening.
If the KB's have been installed IN the OS and are functioning just fine
after a month or so why do I need all this ash and trash on my hard disk?
Thanks.

It has nothing to do with uninstalling old updates. It's for migration

delete it go ahead.

How does it support or resolve "migration" issues when installing new
updates?

They just are, in simple terms, and if you don't want them, then delete
them, but then when SP3 comes out, or an update to one of those updates
where you deleted the ash/trash and it doesn't work right, you'll be right
back here asking why this or that happens, which would be unique to your PC
as we kept ours. Besides, the 250+GB drives, what's a few hundred k if that
much? It is not like its going to break you!

Just tried to keep it at a level you'd understand, since someone who it
technically adapt would know why they're there.
Oh P.S. there is seaman or bildgewater in the "Q" continuum - so you're
offbase again - strike 2 - shall we try strike 3????

You don't need the files; future updates do.
They contain 'maps' of system changes from past system conditions to present
conditions. Some updates may require UNdoing These changes before making New
changes that will start back at ground zero. 'kay?

My$hf_mig$ folder is 172MB, so I guess I will keep it. My C: drive is not
large by modern standards (40GB) but as has been said, it won't break the
bank

Fair Enough.
Then there should be a short Readme file IN the folder that says that -- but
better written, more complete, in straightforward English -- with technical
language as appropriate --and less patronizing.
Yes, it CAN be done.
Cheers,
