Delete Downloadeds?

I have an hp desktop and when I prepared to upgrade to SP2 I downloaded the
recommended driver updates and installed them. The upgrade was flawless.
My question is, I downloaded the updates to my hard drive then installed
them. May I now delete the downloads?

Thanks.

If you downloaded an update to the HD and then installed it, then I see no reason not
to delete it but why not back them up onto CD and then you'll have them if required
another time. I have done this myself with different updates.
