Hello,
I was wondering if I can delete the folders containing the updates once I have installed them.
Which one is it?
Thanks to all

Hi.
This software is designed for "download once - install many (computers)".
If you use it to update a single system, you may of course delete the whole software once you've downloaded and installed the missing Microsoft patches.

Don't delete the repo if you intend to update the system(s) in the future. Otherwise you need to download everything again, then.

Thanks to both of you.
However, after downloading 2 G of updates, the system shows me an error message when I try to install them.

Did you download the patches matching your OS and architecture? For 64bit-Systems you need to use the update sets ending in -x64, e. g. w61-x64.

To be honest I have not looked at it.
I will give a look later on
