Note: You can remove older versions of the components that have been updated in SP, which are stored during the installation in case you need to uninstall SP later. The storing of these older components increases the amount of
the disk space which is used. Typically, you should remove older versions of components if you want to reclaim this disk space after having applied SP and if you do not need to uninstall SP. Note, however, that you cannot uninstall SP after having removed process. If you want to remove older versions of the components go to: C:\Windows\Driver
Cache\i386 and remove spX.cab. You can also remove driver cache: driver.cab from the C:\Windows\Driver Cache\i386 folder. |
