So how can I make the service pack 1 not removable, please explain like
for an idiot, cause those files are getting bigger and bigger... And the
space on my C hard is less then 8 GB.

Service Pack 1 contains a binary called VSP1CLN.EXE, a tool that will
make the Service Pack package permanent (not removable) on your system,
and remove the RTM versions of all superseded components.

I noticed hundreds of folders starting with AMD64. I assume they
also include Intel 64 bit, and AMD64 was chosen because it's easier
on the brain than EM64T. The danger is that someone will say, "I
have Intel, not AMD," and delete them all.
