SQL Server installation leaves odd hotfix folders on the root
- by Nick
I have about a dozen weirdly named folders, for example 5e812807b3e1b04248ed046794a01b, on my d: drive after installing SQL Server 2008.
Inside each folder are two subfolders: 1033 and hotfixexpress
\1033\eula.txt
\1033\finalsql2005information.rtf
\1033\hotfix.rll
\1033\sqlhotfix.chm
\1033\sqlse.rll
\hotfixexpress\files\sqlexpr.exe
I get access denied whenever I try to delete any of these files / folders.
I tried again after stopping all SQL server services, without luck.
Any ideas?
