SP2 download directory

I recently downloaded the SP2 update from Automatic Update, and when it tries
to install it, it says I do not have enough hard disk space on C:. I only
have 678mb left on my C: after the download. Since I cannot free anymore
space on that partition, I was thinking I should just delete the downloaded
files and try installing it from the CD.

I do not know where the files for SP2 were downloaded to. Can someone
please tell me the directory(s)? Thanks.

Hi

Clean out the folder
%windir%\SoftwareDistribution\Download\

where %windir% typically is C:\Windows

The SP2 install Subdirectory cannot be deleted D:\355dbs7d375\SP2
This is from a prior aborted install.
Anyone know how to remove this?
Also my Windows Update Page does not work.
