Is that a yes? Is it OK to delete EVERTYING in the Download folder? Are there other things in there besides the SP2 download?

You might need to delete the DataStore folder as well as the Download folder.
But deleting DataStore folder you will lose Windows Update History list.

Hi,
Stop the Automatic Updates service, clear the contents of the DataStore and Download folders, and restart the Automatic Updates service.

I just downloaded the wrong SP2 version (the one from "Windows Update"). I want the one for "IT Professionals" instead. The one I downloaded is now waiting for me to install, but I don't want to install, I want to delete it. How do I delete it without installing it?
