[dba-Tech] Junk in the Registry

CCleaner has identified 345.7MB of Hotfix Uninstallers.  What are they?  Do
I need them?  Do I want them?  Can I live without them (I hope)?

Rocky,

I use RegCure....  seems particularly good with artifacts left over from
uninstalls.  I select all options except "empty registry keys"
