C drive is filling up with Live Update Downloads

On our Windows 2003 SP1 server, there is Symantec 10.1 antivirus software and console installed plus backup exec 11d. I have noticed the past few weeks, the C drive filling up. I noticed that in c:\document & settings\All users\Application data\Symantec\Live update\downloads folder receives 50MB files every week. What are they exactly and are they necessary??

What can I do to lessen these files? can i delete them?

What do you mean by legacy files? There are ennluxdb.x86.full.zip files which are about 40MB each in size. Are those the ones you are referring to?

by legacy i mean old files. these files update the virus definition an dpattern files an donce loaded are only needed in teh event of recovery but you can get them from symantec site anyway so you are fine to delete them
