Details are at the link below, but the advice is: Don't remove the MSP files unless you are desperate for space! Per MS: doing so won't "stop your system from working, but they will stop upgrades!"http://www[dot]ava[dot]co[dot]uk/support/faq/general/what-are-msp-files.aspxI was getting desperate, since something was slowly eating space on C: on a production system. I was able to move 4 GB of patch and other update related files to a larger drive. That's 25% of the C: drive on a Windows 2003 server that will be retired soon, but I didn't want to have to do it sooner than planned because of the accumulated effects of Microsoft's mistakes. (12 GB was NOT that small when we got the system -- try not to miss the point!) Most server systems are multiple hard disks (like RAID partitioned into a smaller C: and a larger D:). It *should* be easy to re-locate at least the older MSP and similar files to another location (2nd disk or disk on a LAN) and have everything function properly. Besides better use of the system resources, I can back this crap up far less often than the more volatile stuff. Are you listening MS? Support and overhead costs are more important than your product! Can you say TCO? Why do you think Linux is eating your lunch?
