How do I recover space after installing SP2?

I used windows update to download and update SP2. My free space on my hard
drive went from 1.33Gb to 134Mb. I'm sure most of these is from setup and
backup files created during the SP2 download and installation. How do I know
which folders/files I can get rid of to recover this space. Thanks!

Thanks Carey, that was a great help.

Can I also delete the following folders?
Registered Packages

Another suggestion.

Use Disk CleanUp, More Options to remove all but one System Restore
point. Make sure you run Disk Defragmenter after all changes are
completed.
