After Windows update patch installation is successful, Is it safe to delete
the following (to save disk space):
1)
Windows update patch source files located in
C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download

2)
uninstall files of Windows update patches, named as "$NtUninstallKBxxxxxx$"
(generic description), located in C:\WINDOWS

When (if at all ever), could anyone need these files taking up several
hundred MB, after installing the patches? If indeed it is safe to delete
them, is there a prescribed 'safe' way for such files, or can you just use
the 'delete' command in Windows Explorer to send them to the recycle bin.
