SP1 Hotfixes still listed in C:\Windows

I have implemented SP2 on both my computers.
I notice that although all the SP1 Hotfixes are no longer listed in the
Add/Remove Programs but there are still 27 folders listed in C:\Windows
directory as $NtUninstallKB817778$ etc. Some of these folders have as many
as 26 files.
I have the same thing on both computers. Should these folders/files have
been removed by SP2 or can they now be removed?

SP2 left them behind because IF you decide to uninstall SP2 they will again
be listed in Add/Remove so, if required, you can then uninstall them. I
know, it's a dumb way to do things.

I just deleted them from within Explorer once I was sure I was not going to
uninstall SP2 (and why would you anyway).
