Hi everyone, I was recently fiddling around with my ZoneAlarm settings when I noticed I had about 3-4 pages worth of Windows Service Pack Setup listed there. This seemed just a tad off, so I went to C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download to take a look and saw that there were about 146 copies of Windows XP3 installers listed in there, taking up about 1.5GB of space.
So here's what happened during the install the first time around, it seemed to be taking too long so I cancelled it. It went through the uninstall and everything normally, and all seemed fine. The second time around, the power went out halfway through. When I restarted my PC, it said the install wasn't completed and it had to uninstall or something. I clicked all the right buttons, but when it got near completing, my PC froze, so I manually powered it down. When I powered it back up, everything seemed fine, and the third install went smoothly.
This probably happened about a week ago, and I only just noticed the hundreds of extra copies about 10mins ago. My question is what should I do? If I uninstall SP3, will it remove all the copies? I stupidly disabled restore points, so I think that isn't an option. Please help, thanks!
