software distrution space

I have a computer with Win2k installed in a C: partition of about
2G size (data and most programs are on a D: partition).

After installation there was still a lot of room on C:, but
because of automatic updates the partition is now almost
completely full (only 50M left). I am afraid that soon the last
remaining space will be used by updates, and that things will
start to go wrong. At the moment 228M is used by "service packs"
and 303M by "software distribution".

Are these data actually used by the system, or can they be removed?
