Windows Updates
I have loads of Windows Updates in my list of Programmes dated since 2007. Is it OK to delete these to tidy up my computer.

Hi,

No, usually not, even if you had installed the new service packs after installing the listed individual updates, because a service pack can skip already installed updates when it is installing.... if you uninstall any of the older ones you will lose the benefit.
