Removing Updates

I'm running Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 2 and approximately 95
updates installed since December, 2004. Now I'm running out of space on my
hard drive. Can I remove these updates? All of them? Some of them? If so,
which ones. Many Thanks for your help!

If you mean the ones in C:\Windows then You can remove those(not uninstall) except for the $hf_mig$ file. Do not remove this file.

You should not remove the updates but as Peter Foldes says you can remove
the uninstallers. Thre is a neat inexpensive shareware toold thta does this,
telling you what is going to be affected before you do it.

Actually, the direct link to the shareware tool that you are refering to is
http://www.pcshareware.com/update.htm

The link that John provided is actually the 'contact us' page for the web
site.
