I am running out of disk space on my C:\ and need to delete some files.

Are these temporary files used for service packs, or are these active files
not to be deleted???

Windows 2000 will use the \ServicePackFiles folder in the event you Add
components to the system. Best to leave this folder.

Some things to check;
Clean out your %windir%\Temp, and \Documents and Settings\%username%\Local
Settings\Temp directory. Delete the Temporary Internet Files, and History.
You could use Find|Files/ Folders and search the drive for; say files
greater than 5mB and then decide if they're needed. Check the %windir%
directory for a $NtServicePackUninstall$ directory, if your current service
pack is stable and you don't anticipate backing down, you can delete the
dir. Also check for the existence of User.dmp and Memory.dmp (both, by
default should be in the %windir% directory) you can delete these unless
your going to send them to the application vendor, or Microsoft for
troubleshooting purposes. Other options are; moving the pagefile to one of
the other drives, uninstall your programs that are installed in C:\Program
Files and reinstall them to D:\Program Files If you have a lot of local user
profiles stored, you can move them, see this article for info on this.
