As I said I keep them forever unless disk space is at a premium :). On the other hand I have been removing these folders for years as needed and on dozens of servers and have never had a problem.
Of course the first person to follow my advice will be the first person to ever get bit by deleting them :) Dave P.S. Agreed, YMMV, professional driver on closed course, do not attempt.

Remember, Murphy's Law teaches us that only the one(s) you remove will ever cause a problem. I'm a bit compulsive about cleaning up my HD, even though I'll never use it all, but I make it a point to keep these particular folders around for months before discarding them. YMMV!

The truly paranoid among us burn those to CD before deleting them, or else move them to an external HDD "just in case". -- Angus Scott-Fleming GeoApps, Tucson, Arizona 1-520-290-5038 +-----------------------------------+ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
