Space shortage - can I delete $NtUninstall* files?

    I've searched but cannot find ref to this in previous thread so sorry if it's been covered already.

    I've been running XP Prof with SP2 fine for over 6 months.

    I am trying to free up some space and noticed over 100 $NtUninstall* files in the WINNT folder and am wondering can I safely delete these.

    I've googled it and getting conflicting opinions so I'd like to know what you guys think???

    Any advice / opinions appreciated.

    best to get spacemonger and run it first to see what is really using the space

    reboot
    start - run - %temp% and empty it too
    if you have a D: drive you could also move the pagefile there too.

    system restore takes up space too - it all depends on whether you have a good backup or not. If you have a full system backup and don't mind reinstalling / restoring then you could remove them. If you don;t have a full backup well then the more ways windows has to recover itself the better,
