Conserving disk space after using Windows Update

I noticed that after downloading all of the Windows Update files (security
and Service Packs) that there is a ton of my hard drive that is used up. Is
there anything that I can delete after these updates have been installed?
There is a 93 Meg cab file for SP2 that I would love to move to a network
location instead of the local drive since I am assuming that its work is now
done or am I wrong?

Any suggestions of what I can delete is appreciated.

Regards,
Kevin

Save Space After Installing Updates

Folders that have uninstall as part of the name (for example $NtUninstallKB282010$
which reside in C:\windows (hidden folders) are Window Hot Fix Update folders/files)
can be safely deleted (providing you never wish to uninstall the updates). I would
recommend leaving these folders for a period of at least a month to make sure the
update is working correctly.

These updates can be deleted individually or in multiples. To find out more about the
update/s go to:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=XXXXXX
NB: XXXXXX = the actual number not including the "Q" or "KB"

Once you have deleted the uninstall folders/files, then go to Control Panel,
Add/Remove Programs. Select the matching Windows Hotfix Title relating the update
folder/file you have just deleted and select remove. You will get a Windows error.
This is because you have deleted the uninstall folder/files. Just choose OK and the
entry will be deleted from the Add/Remove Programs Listing.
