Laptop and windows updates

[ob]

Neighbour got a laptop that just keeps updating windows (running XP)

Now C drive full, laptop really slow and runs check disk every time he turns it on

Went to delete some updates from add/remove programs but not sure which ones to delete

Have turned automatic updates off at minute

Any advice on how to stop updating and also deleting updates from C drive

Why would you want to delete updates? If its to save/create space youre looking at the wrong thing mate. If I were you I would look for larger files (usually vids or music) and either burn them to disk then delete or store on a memory stick and move to another pc. Ideally your hard drive should be no more than 60-70% full. You might even consider adding another hard drive, maybe even an external one to shift some files.
