Hi,

I installed Windows XP SP2 yesterday and have gone from having about 1.5GB
of Disk Space on my C: Drive to about 465MB. Is this usual? Can I delete
anything to get back some space?

Thanks in advance!

Only if everything is working okay with SP2, should you remove any of the files
mentioned. If you remove the files mentioned, you will not be able to uninstall SP2.

You should really be looking to increase drive size.. either buy a second
drive, and place your pagefile and documents there, or buy a large one and
transfer your OS to it.. it is good to have 25% free space on a primary
(boot) drive to allow Windows to strut its stuff and do tasks like Defrag..
