Leave the folder alone
Description of the contents of Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Windows Server 2003
software update packages
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;824994
%windir%\$hf_mig$ folder
From the above article:-
When a security update, critical update, update, update rollup, driver, or
feature pack installs GDR version files, the hotfix files are also copied to the
%windir%\$hf_mig$ folder. This supports migration to the appropriate files if
you later install a hotfix or service pack that includes earlier versions of
these files. For example, consider the following scenario:
1. You apply a security update that installs a GDR version of File.dll with a
version number of 5.2.3790.1000 and copies a hotfix version of File.dll with a
version number of 5.2.3790.1000 to the %windir%\$hf_mig$ folder.
2. You apply a hotfix that includes a hotfix version of File.dll with a
version number of 5.2.3790.0000.
In this scenario the hotfix installation in step 2 installs the hotfix version
of File.dll (version number 5.2.3790.1000) from the %windir%\$hf_mig$ folder
instead of the hotfix version of File.dll (version number 5.2.3790.0000) from
the hotfix package.
