Need to Delete SP2, but how . . .

The smartest member of my family decided to download SP2 with only 300MB or
so of space left on my HD.
I don't want to delete other thing on my HD simply because I don't
particularily care to have SP2 in the first place, as not only has everyone I
know had problems afterwards, but it seems everyone I don't know is too.

I need to delete it to free up the space again.

All help is appreciated.

Add/Remove Programs is not the answer, deleted everythign from there and the
space hasn't been freed up.
System Restore isn't the answer either, same thing.
My WUTemp folder doesn't exist.
I've tried doing a Search for all files over 100MB with "Show Hidden Files
and Folders" selected in folder options, and with "Search Hidden Files and
Folders" selected in the search.

I'm stumped.

So you already uninstalled SP-2 in Add/Remove Programs?
Then follow this:

And:

The real problem is you need another hard drive.
If you are that close, it is only a matter of time.

If your friends all had trouble with SP-2, is there something they all
had in common such as file sharing software?
Spyware, viruses whether known or unknown?
This can help for a successful installation:
