Windows XP Hotfix SP2 backup file removal
I selected the safe option when installing SP2. This
allowed an SP2 uninstall if problems arose. The install has been fine, and I would like to recover the space used for the uninstall files. Can anyone please advise how to safely remove all these files and directories? Most or all of the directories are in the Windows directory with names of the form $NtUninstallQ319580$ |

Windows XP Hotfix SP2 backup file removal
Hmm ... and where did you get this SP2? Are you sure it was for WinXP?
Reason being, MS has not released, and as far as I know, not even started beta testing SP2 for WinXP yet. There are plenty of Post-SP1 hotfixes, that will be included in SP2.

Windows XP Hotfix SP2 backup file removal
Actually John, there are various small patches named with
the SP2 at the end of them - which will be included in the "large" SP2 service pack that will be coming out in awhile. They've started developing patches already for SP2. -----Original Message----- Hmm ... and where did you get this SP2? Are you sure it was for WinXP?
