HI Dontee, These $NTUninstall folders are created when you install a Microsoft Service Pack, a hotfix, or certain security updates. Each KB****** represents an update from Microsoft, they contain un-install info for each hotfix and update

If all is well with your MS updates you can remove all the unistalls. I gained almost a gig of free space.
Here the site to download a good working program. It removes the uninstalls from your drive and add/remove programs.
