Every update you add on to Windows creates a sub folder in Windows all listed as
$info$. These are used just in case you want to uninstall that update from Add/Remove.
Pick a tick in the top checkbox to see them listed.
If your short of space then you could delete them but you won't be able to uninstall
them, get a bigger drive.

thanks Keith.
I have a rather large folder named $hf_mig$ (297 MB).
It lists all KB folders. This is in addition to the "NtUnistallKB...folders.
