HI,

I have folders under c: with strange names combining letters and
numbers that don't make any sense. They seem to be related to updates.
What are they and can I delete them?

Daniel

PS Not to be confused with the ones under c:\windows.

Click on one. Are they VDM files? Got MSE on your machine? That's where
they are from.

Temporary working folders for updates.
If you are able to delete them - you can deleted them.
Might have to take ownership/use Unlocker/etc.
