If you apply multiple PTFs over time without deleting the Backup directory, the BACKUP directory will contain multiple copies of unpatch files and the related original files from each backup. You may wish to periodically clean the BACKUP directory to recover disk space. To keep the most recent backup information, keep the latest unpatch.bak (or unpatch.bat if you already renamed it) file and the files listed in its text.
