Redundant Patches and Updates

by aaron a baker . Updated 20 years ago

Advice Please;
I have a laptop with 112 MS-Updates & Patches indicated in the C:\ Windows folder.
When I go to the Ad-Remove Program in Control Panel, only 4 are in fact registered.
Theoretically they should all be showing up here but for some reason they are not.
I am therefore interpreting this to mean that they are in fact connected to nothing.
since the Patches, and Updates are already within the system, would it be wise of me to simply delete all but the ones that show in the Add-Remove Panel?
These seem to me now to be noting more than useless uninstallers that will uninstall nothing as they are disconnected. Am I correct in this assumption or am I missing something?.
I should also mention that this is a great part of the reason as to why her computer is now slow, sluggish and doesn’t work anywhere near as well or fast as it did.
My question then is;
Will I cause any damage by simply dumping these “Updates and Patches” uninstallers?
Any thoughts?
I would appreciate the advice
Thanks
Aaron 🙂
