I have installed the SP2, and there is a folder in the Windows folder called
"service pack files", and inside there is a folder called "i386". And this
folder is quite big, I want to get rid of it, but I'm not sure if the system
still need these files. Can anyone tell me whether I can delete them or not?

Thank you!!

That does not answer the specific question the OP asked.
