Run Disk Cleanup from the Accessories menu. You can safely delete temp files
from there. Alternatively, you can use a third party tool like Ccleaner. It
will do a more thorough job, particularly with temporary files from third
party apps.
Move user files to a different volume/disk, if you can.

When you are positively sure you will not need to uninstall SP1, you can
clean out unused, but stored update files. Open up a command prompt as
administrator (right-click the command prompt icon in Accessories). At the
prompt, type "vsp1cln" (without the quotes).

You should seriously consider it. 35GB on a system partition with many "big
programs" on it is a bit on the low side, especially if you store your user
files on the same partition.
