Looks like a simple question right? But Googling does not reveal any definitive answers. I've got an aging laptop that I'm trying to free some space on and am wondering if anyone can tell me safe directories to remove on Windows XP.
I'm a Unix guy so do not really know much about Windows…

Personally, I wouldn't.
This folder almost certainly has various drivers that you'll need if you ever rebuild the system, and it's far easier to keep hold of them somewhere than to have to find them all again. At the very least burn them onto a CD before deleting from the HDD.
(Plus I usually find that they're fairly small folders since drivers aren't usually that big... are you really going to save that much space?)
