Old files of Service Pack

Windows XP Home Edition / 2002 Version / Service Pack 3

1 system properties of the machine told me that it is running Service Pack 3. My question is, can I delete all the files of Service Pack 1 and Service Pack 2?
2. can I remove $NtServicePackUninstall$
3. I disabled the Dr. Watson program, then I stopped and restarted my machine. Why are .exe files of the program, Dr. Watson not appearing in Task Manager processes?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

You can remove the $NtUninstallKB... file and all related $NtServicePackUninstall$ folders and files, if you wish. Those who are for the most part uninstall service packs and Windows Update files. You need these files if you can always restore or uninstall a Service Pack or update.

If you are going to keep a given patch or update, uninstall files serve no additional purpose. Just delete them as you would any other file or folder. (Note: Windows correctly will prevent the deletion of the any of these files that are still needed for one reason or another.)

Patches will always appear in Add XP or Remove applet of the control panel of the programs. To delete the entries, open the program, check the updates to see him at the top of the window, made scroll to select Windows XP - software updates, each of them at a time, then click on remove.

You will get an error message telling you that the file has already been deleted. Click Yes and proceed to the next. Just be sure to not accidentally uninstall an update that you have already deleted it. If the software update Removal Wizard opens instead of the "already deleted" error message, click Cancel.
