Mysterious folders in my AppData>Local folder

As I see it this is the entire issue in a nutshell:
The main issue is that at least one program in the Windows Live Essentials suite doesn't clean up it's empty folders from appdata\local and they didn't put these folders under appdata\local\temp. These {foldersWithClsidNames} would ideally be deleted but if not deleted then at least Microsoft should put them under temp.

I now have 22 of these empty folders showing.

I think it's pretty much self-explanatory.

It's not just a Windows 7 problem. I use Vista Home Premium and I've accumulated about 60 folders in AppData\Local since I re-installed a few months ago. It seems to be about one empty folder for each day so it could be related to updates which download and instal automatically each night. The Folder creation time is usually around 9am, ie about 6 hours after my auto update starts, and about the time I start using the computer. I often run things overnight and still get a freebie folder! I don't use MSE - I have Avast as my antivirus, but I use Defender as my firewall.

Windows does not download and install updates every night. See my previous post for the solution.

Forgot to mention that I'm using Windows Live as well. Reading other comments it could be naughty Microsoft being too lazy to clear up after closing Win Live. The folder creation times would tie in with the first time I open Win Live each day.

Forgive me, but I don't understand your previous post, or how it shows a "solution" to this issue. You said that it's self-explanatory, but unfortunately, it isn't to me, so could you possibly explain it in more detail?

Thanks,

So, in spite of my previous post, I would like to add a comment.
I do appreciate that, whilst this is of no operational concern, users are curious as to what is causing the problem. Keep uppermost in mind, hwever, that the vast majority of users around the wrold do not make uneeded customise options to the OS, and are totally unaware that there are empty folders in a hidden section.
But, to the point, I have been experimenting. How many, who are seein these folders, have the attached calendar operational in Live Mail?
It may have been a wrong reading, but I found after using the calendar, with,( I believe), a couple of reminders, that the folders then started to appear.
However, my imagination or not, it was definitely eminating from Live Mail. I do not use any of the other items in the package.

I've seen a number of articles on the web about these files, and the concensus is that they are created during windows update. I had about 50 recently in Vista so it's not unique to Win 7. I moved them to another folder and rebooted to see what happened. All was OK so after a few days I deleted them and there hasn't been a problem. I've upgraded to Win 7 and have a few already, but as yet I haven't gone throught the exercise to move them and see if it's OK to delete.

This issue is still not fixed in latest Windows Live Essentials 2011, build 15.4.3538.0513
