Where can I find the SP3 file I download for Win XP?

I accidentally downloaded the Windows Update for Service Pack 3. I changed my mind about installing it. Since it took a lot of space on my hard drive, I want to find it and delete it. Can you tell me the name of that file?

    You can uninstall Windows XP Service Pack 3 on your computer. First, go to Control Panel, then double-click Add or Remove Program, then checklist the square "Show Updates" near title bar, then Select Windows XP Service Pack 3 or something similar. Then click uninstall.

    Service Pack 3 Update take a lot of space because it's store backup of previous files before updating. So, if you don't want to uninstall Service Pack 3, you can remove $NTServicePackUninstall$ folder in C:\Windows\ using Search Option. Don't forget to checklist the square "Search hidden files and folder" and "Search system folders".

    Note: If you want to download Windows Service Pack 3, you can download it at:
