Installed SP2 on a WinXP Pro PC. So far all seems OK.
However, after the install (done through Automatic Updates),
I now have the following huge directories:
C:\Internet Logs - 155MB
C:\ServicePackFiles - 501MB
C:\SoftwareDistribution - 527MB
C:\"My Profile"\Temp - 750MB
....And SP2 $Uninstall$ files - 331MB
That's close to 2.5GB of drive space! Geez. Was that really necessary?
I will delete the Temp files, clean out the Internet Logs folder and
maybe delete the ...$Uninstall$ files (I know it's the SP2 uninstall) ... what else
can I delete? Are the C:\ServicePackFiles and C:\SoftwareDistribution folders OK to delete?
