Cleaning up $NtUninstall...

[S Shanly]

I have installed XP SP2 successfully and it's running ok.

My Windows directory has a ton of $NtUninstall hidden
directories using up a lot of space. In addition to the
one for SP2, I also appear to have one for each of the
fixes that I applied on top of SP1 - these were not
cleaned up by the SP2 install.

Is it safe to erase all of these directories? I'm
assuming that SP2 has made all of the $NtUninstallKB* and
$NtUninstallKB* directories obsolete??? All told they
are using up several GBs of disk.

Thanks...

The old uninstall files are there in case you uninstall SP-2.
In that case, you would also have options to uninstall them as you did
before installing SP-2.
They can be safely deleted:
