Default Moving ServicePackFiles Folder



I have a Windows 2003 server running low on disk space for the C drive. I've
already cleaned out my temp files and any other thing I can think of. Under
the Windows directory I see a folder titled ServicePacksFiles which contain
the I386 folder and a folder called ServicePackCache. Can I move this folder
to another drive on the same server without casuing any problems to my
server? This would free up over 700Mbs.

Hello RAZ,

If you are sure that there is no need to uninstall patches, you can remove
the KBxxxxxx uninstall files. Also you can remove the C:\windows\softwaredistribution
folder after stopping the automatic update service, will be recreated after
starting the service. This is often also very big.

With servicepackfiles folder i never played around. Maybe it is needed if
you run a check/repair for system files with sfc command.

Best regards
