Hello

Anybody know what is in this folder?
C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download, it is taking up almost a GB of my hard disk space!
 
That is where updates and applications that are downloaded go. When they have to extract with WinZip or Winrar to install after you click the .exe part of it goes there.

But most of it is from the Windows Updates. It downloads .exe files and then executes them right away.
 
You should have no problem deleting this stuff. It shouldnt cause your system any problems either.
