   I stand by my comment about people who would   
   remove uninstall files in some perverse attempt to   
   save hard disk space.  They have other "comorbidities"   
   like the habit of not making backups.   
      
   What are the specs of the system you did that to,   
   Ammammata?   
      
   As others have pointed out, that method of   
   freeing space can easily become catastrophic.   
      
   If you really want to pare down Windows, you   
   could use nLite, and slipstream it, which would   
   gain you a lot more space, but deleting 100K   
   of uninstall files from an 8 to 10 GB Windows install   
   is perverse, obsessive and actually counterproductive.   
      
   Do you think a "neurotypical" person would   
   do that rather than add more hard disk space   
   or replace the drive with a larger one, Glen?   
      
   Glen > As for your comment concerning backups,   
   Glen > there is no relationship whatsoever between   
   Glen > someone trying to gain disk space and   
   Glen > your claim that such a person doesn't do backups.   
      
   Somebody who would delete 100K of uninstall files   
   on an 8GB+ system install sure sounds to ME like   
   the kind who is short on space, as in too short on   
   space to make backups because they lack   
   common sense enough to replace and enlarge   
   their hard disk.   
      
   Aspies typically lack common sense, among other things.
