The Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1) Files Removal Tool (VSP1CLN.exe) can be used to remove the files that are archived after Windows Vista SP1 is applied. This frees up close to 1 GB of disk space.
You may use this integrated tool if:
1. Your Windows Vista (with SP1) system is currently stable, and you do not plan to remove Service Pack 1 any time in future.
(or)
2. Your hard disk is seriously running out of space.
Note: You’ll be unable to uninstall Windows Vista Service Pack 1 after running this tool.
For more information and screenshots, see the post Reclaiming disk space after Vista SP1 installation at Erik Rozman‘s Weblog.
