What about the the 'top' hidden folder that is right above the $ntuninstall
folders? I've been deleting it also. Since I don't presently have it, but
seems it's named something like "updis" and is not compressed, but contained
the same MS updates that I deleted in hidden format. After deleting the
compressed updates, the "updis" folder is still many MB in size. Of course
on the next update, the "updis" (or whatever it is named) is re-created
along with the compressed updates again.
