Free up space, Windows directory

I'm trying to free up space on C: drive, and I've done it everywhere other than C;|windows directory.  There are a load of directories that are of the format $NTuninstallnnnnn$.  What are they, and can I get rid of them?

Same with a directory called $hf_mig$  that has about 50 subdirectories of the format KBnnnnn

Can I delete them manually, or is there a general cleanup program I can run?

Thanks.  Can I move the NTuninstall files from C\windows to my D: drive, and if I should ever need them move them back to C for the uninstall?
You can also delete the content of the following folders if you have such ones
C:\Windows\Temp
C:\Windows\Downloaded Program Files

Also if you have not deleted it yet you can delete the content of
C:\Documents and Settings\[Your username]\Local Settings\Temp
C:\Documents and Settings\[Your username]\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files
