Hotfix files can be removed but not recommended in case something happens in a new update and have to revert to an older update. Many of the Hotfix files/programs can be found in the add/remove programs list. From there you should be able to delete them. The files also like to hang out on other places within windows so you need need to do a file search to find them all.
