[XP Home] SP2 Cleanup

I upgraded XP home to SP2 using the network installation a few days ago and have had no problems. Now I am cleaning my hard drive after the update. The upgrade created the following folder: c:/Windows/ServicePackFiles with a subfolder i386. It is 407 Mb and looks like installation files for the service pack. I do not plan on uninstalling SP2 so my question is, Can I delete this folder?

I think you should keep that one
from
»[XP Pro] Removing SP2 Backup Files
"The only other large SP1 item you will be left with at this point is a folder in Windows named "Service Pack Files." Do not delete this folder. SFC and Windows File Protection will use its contents when needed."

Edit: This one i think you can
"C:\WINDOWS\$NtServicePackUninstall$

Just run your MS Disk clean up. ZAPPING files that you are not sure of can lead to disasterous results for your OS.
