Safe to delete C:\WINNT\ServicePackFiles after Win2k SP1 update? ~~ thirdkind - Email problem. Please read. AnandTech Moderator

[thirdkind]

Are these files actually needed, or are they just the junk left over after updating Windows 2000 with SP1?

They're taking up 127 MB.

Yes to the title, the first question, or the second question?

the \WinNT\ServicePackFiles folder IS NEEDED

It is kept there so you dont need to reinstall the Service Pack everytime you install a program that installs new system files.

Me thinks Stefan is right, the directory you can delete is the un- install directory, can't remember its name though.
