Default Can I delete Server 2003 SP-1 files?

I just recently updated my exchange server to Server 2003 SP-1. After it was
complete, I realized that the available space on my C:\ was a lot less than
previous. I ran TreeSize Pro on it to determine what the culprit was and
found a couple new folders in the System folder called ServicePackFiles and
SoftwareDistribution. They're taking up a ton of room that I can't afford to
lose. Now that SP-1 is complete, is it safe to delete these folders? Can I
also delete the $NtUninstallKB#####$ ?

Thank you.

Andy;
Service Pack Files may be essential if you later have problems.
Those files in conjunction with the CD are used by SFC.
But the uninstall files may be safely deleted as well as the contents of the
download folder.
