Default Space Issues - ?Delete "ServicePackFiles"


I upgraded to sp4 - and am running short of disk space.
Currently have <250mb on the partition and am running into
problems with file replication ? because of limited
space. In trying to free up space and I'm looking for
info re: deleting i386 folder currently on
c:\winnt\ServicePackFiles (it is 247mb). I was told that
it was ok to delete - but I'm wondering if anyone else has
knowledge about this. I have deleted the NTuninstall
folders.

You probably know that deleting uninstall files means you can't
uninstall, and this can be a bad decision.

You might move them to another partition to free up space. Make a note
along with them so you can move them back to the right place should you
ever want to.
