- Files archived by SP2?
- Posted by Rod Moyer on October 14th, 2005
When I installed SP2 in Windows XP Pro more than a year ago, the space 'used'
on my system partition increased enormously. I'm guessing that some of the
system files replaced by SP2 were archived rather than deleted or
overwritten. Does anyone know if this is the case, and if so, how I can
safely find and delete them?
