Reclaim disk space

[BobS]

This actually applies to Windows Servers as well as Windows XP. As happens,
as updates are downloaded and applied, the size of the Windows folder
continues to grow with $NtUninstallKB..... files and a folder $hf_mig$.

I generally delete the $NtUninstallKB... folders after awhile, but is it
safe to delete old KB folders in the $hf_mig$ folder. Is there a setting
somewhere that will purge things here as space is needed?

Thanks in advance,

Bob Showalter, Packer International

Alternative solution:
1. When you get home, check under the cushions on your sofa.
2. Collect the abandoned coins.
3. Use the coins to buy a terabyte drive tomorrow morning.
4. Copy contents of existing drive to new disk.
