Cleaning up droppings after installing Win XP SP2

[Don]

I found that the space used in the partition containing
Win XP Pro grew by about 1-gig after installing SP2. Does
anyone have any information about whe spoor the SP2
installation left behind and what is safe to delete? I
have found "C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles"
and "C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download\6ca7b3a8e fd5
a9b6f87fff395a2eb989" both appear to relate to SP2
installation and both contain 500+ meg.

TIA
