ProgramData Folders removal  
News Group: embarcadero.public.delphi.install

I noticed that there is a lot of gigabytes tied up in the ProgramData folders relating to Delphi install.  Those folders usually have a folder name like - {877A2309-52A2-4DD7-A66A-D9103231A91A} and there are several of these folders.  

Can those folders be safely removed to free up some space on the hard drive or are they actually required by Delphi??

regards

Bill

They are required by the installer for doing modify/repairs.  Delphi itself does 
not use them.
