First of all these are fixes. Leave them they are usually helping your computer and fixing certain problems. If you are trying to free space try using the utility in windows... My Computer > Right click your hard drive > then click disk cleanup. But basically find where all the space is being taken up at and go from there, not from important files.

If I was you iI would leave the hotfixes alone. I removed the rollup for windows 2000 once and I had to re-install the entire system.

So the best advice is to leave them

If you want to rid of space, a great program out there is EasyCleaner. It deletes all unneccessary files (temp ones) - and believe me, there are loads. like 20,000 every few weeks. I highly recommend it. Also remember to clean your registry (easycleaner lets you do this) and defragment once in a while (start menu).

Since hard drives are so cheap now, I recommend just getting an external drive. I got one a few weeks back and it's a great solution.

I wouldnt - external drives are so much more expensive than internal, and it's piss easy to install. I believe i installed one when i was 11.

hotfixes don't take up that much space so you cant free up much anyways

Hello veggie1232 this may come late but seeing as this is my first day being a member here at this site I will offer you my advice.

First off leave the Hotfixes *Alone* they are there for a reason!!
You may want to look into buying more memory (RAM)
If you are still low on $Cash$ and cannot afford it please refer to my post

There I explain in detail how you can fully maximize you're system as is. You will get better overall performance, more available resources
and free more RAM.

The program other users suggested to you are fine but I suggest using
