SP" uninstall info

What folders under Windows can be deleted (to save disk space) if I no longer
want to keep SP2 uninstall info?
Also, I accidentally deleted the link to "uninstall SP2" from add/remove
programmes (I wanted to see if it had the option to remove only uninstall
info, prevented it from running but accidentally clicked "yes" when asked if
I wanted to remove the entry in add/remove programmes). Is there any way I
can get this back? I have checked all recently deleted files (using norton
protected recycle bin) but can not find anything that corresponds to this
entry (suc as an .msi file or something)...
Any help greatly appreciated.

Boris;
If the files have been deleted, the link in Add/Remove Programs will
not function.

Dear Jupiter,
Many thanks for the info.
I have actually written the uninstall information to CD but accidentally
deleted the shortcut to uninstall the service pack from "Add/Remove
programs". Is there any way to recreate this shortcut? Is it listed in the
registry? I could not find any fiels deleted immediately after I accidentally
deleted the shortcut but Norton Protected Recycle Bin appears not to monitor
hidden or system directories (such as Windows\installer).
Many thanks again and best wishes, Boris.

Boris;
Inside each uninstall file is an executable "spuninst".
Double clicking that does the same thing as the entry in Add/Remove
Programs.
