Hello,
A bigger drive is the best solution. There really isn't an uninstall for
features. you can choose to enable or disable the feature, but that
doesn't really remove the files from the system. Manually removing the
files can affect the ability to install packages like updates, that attempt
to service any components that may use those files. So if those files were
missing you may not be able to install a package like a service pack, if
one or more of the components had system files manually deleted.
As for uninstall .NET 1.0 or .NET 1.1, that would be up to the programs
that you have installed and whether any of them have a dependancy on having
an earlier version available to be able to run properly.
A program may require an earlier version, so it's hard to state whether
.NET can be safely removed or not.
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]
