How to remove Windows XP Service Pack 3 from your computer:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/950249
Did you just install WinXP SP3?
Do you need to uninstall WinXP SP3 or...?
Do you use a registry cleaner?
What application or antivirus security suite is installed and your current subscription? What anti-spyware (other than Defender) applications? What third-party firewall (if applicable)? Who were these applications that run in the background when you installed SP3?
A (another) Norton or McAfee application has already been installed on the computer (for example, a free trial version which is preinstalled when you bought it)?

I have Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 service pak, I also Microsoft NET Framework 3.0 installed service pak. My question is can I remove Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 service pak and just let Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 service pak? Thanks for your time... Steve
Unlike the definition of "versions" that apply to most software, in the case of .NET, Framework 3.0 is not simply a newer version of the 2.0 Framework. Applications written for 2.0 will continue to use 2.0 and applications written for 3.0 will continue to use 3.0. My advice is to leave them both on your system unless you know for a fact that you do not have applications that use one of these versions.
HTH,
JW

Is it safe to remove the service paks
Once the service paks are downloaded is it safe to remove them from compartments of download with the add-in and remove the program to secure space?
You should not remove the Service Pack, but you can store if you wish (noting once you've done that you don't ' be able to uninstall service packs).

Increase the memory by deleting the old service paks.
Can I remove the old service paks, updates and free memory on my hard drive?
Can I remove the old service paks, updates and free memory on my hard drive?
Not the way you think about it no doubt.
When you install Windows updates, the system stores the information that can be used if you decide that you want to uninstall this update. If decide you want to NEVER uninstall the updates, you can delete these folders from $ $NTUninstallKBxxxxxx (though it would be prudent to burn these files on a CD first). For instructions, seehttp://windowsxp.mvps.org/Hotfix_backup.htm
There are several other things you can do to free up hard disk space, although more sooner rather than later, you should just buy a larger hard drive. You may be able to add a second hard drive if you have a desktop computer with a vacant drive bay or you can simply replace your existing with a larger hard drive. Where you replace, you would "clone" existing than newer, bigger hard drive in order to preserve all your applications and data.
In the meantime:
Run Disk Cleanup: start > run > cleanmgr > OK
Make sure that the system restore use not more than about 1 GB. See http://bertk.mvps.org/html/diskspace.html
If you use Hibernation, consider disabling. It's not earning a lot of disk space: hibernation uses a quantity of disk space equal to the amount of RAM you have. Control Panel > Power Options > hibernation.
Uninstall applications you do not use.
Download and run JDiskReport (it's free, and you can uninstall it when you're done). This will show you what files are too much space on your hard drive so that you can decide what, if anything, you are ready to delete (or move to other storage media) in order to save space.
