    Yes, the amount of time it takes to delete the Windows Updates is unacceptable as part of an "on site" tune-up. Unless the customer is capable and willing to do it it doesn't get done. On Windows 7 deleting the service pack backup is almost as bad. It's helpful that Ccleaner can remove the Hotfix Uninstallers for XP. It would be great if a utility existed for 7 & 8 to speed up the process. And by the way, when I recently installed the new Windows 10 build the old installed build was saved in a "Windows.Old" folder. It can be removed with Disk Cleanup to recover 13 gigs! I pushed the button and just went away and did other things :)
