cleanitup Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 When i used the register tool from CCleaner it said that there were a lot of errors with the windows updates... I didnt trust it and made a backup. After that i clicked FIX. The next day I wanted to uninstall a program, but I saw that almost all the updates were gone from the list: in dutch they're named: XP beveilingingsupdate, I think its XP securityupdate in english...

Untick the hotfix uninstallers tick box in the cleaners advanced section. It hasn't removed the hotfixes themselves, just the uninstallers (meaning if you needed to uninstall a hotfix because of a problem you couldn't). Generally a good idea not to tick anything in the advanced section unless you know what you're doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I show over 600meg being used on this system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Windows has been problem free for 2-3 weeks after a Windows update they should be safe to remove, but there are risks involved in deleting them (ie if a hotfix causes a problem and needs removing), that's why they are in the advanced section.
