I HAVE AT LEASE 300 PATCHES, HOT FIXES THAT ARE TAKING UP MASSIVE HARD
DRIVE
SPACE. SOME ARE DATED BACK TO 2004. CAN I DELETE THEM WITHOUT SERIOUS
ALTERING MY PERFORMANCE. I HAVE XP PRO SP2. I,VE DELETED MANY PROGRAM AND
I
STILL GET THE MESSAGE MY HARD DRIVE IS NEARLY FULL TO THE EXTENT OF 85%
WHICH
ONLY GIVES ME 4% FREE SPACE. I NEED AT LEASE 15% TO PERFORM A PROPER
DEFRAMENTATION.

Just install SP3 in a few days, and it will replace all those things.
However, you can delete all unistall folders for patches, updates, and hot
fixes that you never intend to remove.
You can save all of the rest to a DVD.
Doing this should have no effect on performance.
