In cleaning up my programs I noticed that .net framework 2.0 Sp1 was
taking
up 2700megs of space and I would like to know if it is safe to remove it
or
is it a core program because I have ver 3.5 installed also
They are different things entirely and 3 does not replace 1, 1.1 or 2.x.
To give an example, this system (a Thinkpad) has a very handy
location-switching utility (Access Connections) that requires .NET v.2.
Version 1 and 3 are also present, but I ran into a problem that required
removal of v.2 and Access Connections wouldn't work till I reinstalled it.
So, no, you shouldn't remove it just because you have a later version.
The names are a bit misleading, as it was usual for later versions to
supercede earlier ones, but in this case they don't.
