I have all three service packs for xp on my laptop. everything can I? or just sp3?

I downloaded SP3 for windows xp on my laptop, I also always SP2 and SP1.

My question is: can I remove servicepacks 1 & 2 of my pc since I updated to SP3?   They take a lot of space on my laptop which is slow anyway.  Also how knowledge or know what previous updates for months and years can be deleted?

I'm trying to get more space on my laptop.  Thanks for any help

Please note this is only for Windows XP and is not on Vista or Windows 7

Folders that have uninstall as part of the name (for example $NtUninstallKB282010$ who reside in C:\windows (hidden files) are window Hot difficulty updating folders/files) can be removed safely (providing ever, you wish to uninstall the updates). I recommend you leave these records for a period of at least one month to make sure that the update works correctly.

These updates can be removed individually or together. To learn more about the update/s go on:

NB: XXXXXX = the actual number, not to mention the "Q" or "Ko."

Once you have removed the uninstall folders/files, then go to control panel, add/remove programs. Select the title of the corresponding Windows fix on the folder/file of the patch you just deleted, and select Delete. You will get a Windows error. This is because you deleted the uninstall folder/files. Simply choose OK and the entry will be removed from the Add/Remove Programs list.

Don't NOT delete the folder $ $hf_mig
