It was discussed before the DB crash, but I don't remember wether it is safe to delete the 'ServicePackFiles' folder in c:\windows or not...
Actually, I think it's a folder created by SP1 installation and that it can be deleted safely, but I'm not sure... the folder takes 271Mo on c: drive and I'd be glad to free such space on it.
Waiting for your advice ;)
 
The files are for if you decide to uninstall SP1.


If you're sure you're not gonna uninstall, go ahead and delete.


I tossed mine on a cd just to be safe.

Thank you, that's what I thought :)
 
No, that is not the folder that holds the uninstall files. That one is called C:\Windows\$NtServicePackUninstall$ .

The C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles folder contains the backup copies of system files needed by Windows File Protection.
Wouldn't delete it.
 
ooops, yeah, sorry bout that, thats'what I get for posting right after i wake up

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
