Can i delete servicepackfiles directory

I have since slipstreamed, just been a while since I had to reinstall. Thanks for the info! BTW, I thought there was a util that'll display the date you installed the os?

I can't seem to find it. I thought I saw that in a util somewhere, but that works too. This was in my notes, they are cut and pastes from two sources so the language isn't so smooth but these are pretty much everthing that can or need s o be removed. A very big restore point will have been made. Once a new regular size one has been made in the ordinary way, clean up by going to Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - Disk Cleanup and in 'More Options' click the bottom button to remove all but the most recent restore point.

That can also be deleted. Check that the installations temporary folder did get properly removed - it will be on the drive where you downloaded the setup files, so probably C: and have a long name of random letters.

If it is still around, delete it. Steve R Jones ,. Log in or Sign up to hide this advert. None of these is necessary for the day to day operation of Windows. It save a lot of room on the hard drive.

If you make changes to Windows that requires the Windows disk, the files that are necessary may be in the service pack folder. The total was about 1. So as long as you're not going to do any changes to your computer, the files aren't necessry.
