How to remove the uninstall folders for SP2

[Allen]

I have re-installed SP2 twice on a machine which is running XP SP2 already (
a dumb move). As a result, now I have this huge SP2 uninstall folders in my
hard drive. is there a way I can delete those folders safetly to free up my
hard drive space ?

Hi,

Right-click/delete. But you would only want to do this to the blue
compressed uninstall folder, or to the randomly named temporary folder used
during setup and installation. Do NOT do this to the \servicepackfiles
folder that resides in the windows directory.
