So I went and deleted Limewire off my computer because its a big file. So I went to add remove programs and ordered them by size. It was the third largest. The other two are Microsoft. NET Frame Work 2.0 and 3.0 Service Pack Two
Can I delete these they are huge file, but I think they are there to keep my computer running. Or can I atleast delete 2.0?

Don't delete service pack 2, that would be dumb. Service pack 2 is an Operating System update and if you're using WinXP, a good one. The .NET framework could be deleted, it's up to you. Read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.NET_Framework

I wouldn't delete either one. If you're worried about disk space, there are many other ways to do it rather than deleting "big" files. Do some google searching on these things next time and you won't have to wait on someone to tell you what you could have found out in 5 minutes of research. AND you'll probably learn some neat things you never knew before :-)

Don't delete Microsoft. NET Frame Work 2.0 and 3.0 . You need it for your operating system to work properly. As for Service Pack 2, It wouldn't do any good to delete it because you probably had most of the Windows Updates installed before Vista SP 2 was available. The "extras" in a Windows Service Pack include any software updates needed to correct problems with installed software. The software updates are in addition to normal Windows Updates ( either Security updates or Operating System updates ). Since you surely wish to keep your computer safe and updated, leave the SP 2 alone.

.Net framework is required for many applications to work, I would advise against uninstalling either of these, and the Service Pack is a large security update.

If you delete those, it is extremely likely your computer will crash and that you will be forced to reinstall windows on it. Why people like you even own computers is beyond me.
