HD cleanup after upgrading to WSUS3.0

I am running a Windows SBS 2003 R2 SP1 server and followed the SBS BPA just
released which recommended I update to WSUS3.0. Install went fine and is
working well, but I would like to get rid of previous versions.

I had moved the previous WSUS SQL to drive D: and the WSUS3 installer found
it OK and used the MSSQL$WSUS as the base for its embedded DB.

In Add/Remove CP I have only Microsoft Windows Server Update Services 3.0.
In C:\Inetpub I have a folder UpdateServices
In C:\Program Files\ Microsoft Windows SBS I have a folder UpdateServices
In D:\WSUS there are 4 folders:
MSSQL$WSUS
UpdateServicesPackages
WsusContent
WsusDatabase (containing SUSDB.MDF (2,105,344 KB)

Which can be safely removed?

Also, I ran the DB cleaner from the WSUS Console and deleted all unused,
expired, (et al) entries (took about 2 hours) but the new DB is still
showing 2GB. Is there a utility I need to run to compress it?

And where do I find the WSUSUTIL and Client Diagnostic Tools?
Thanks

Rick

If you upgraded WSUS 2 to WSUS 3 there's really nothing to remove as its not
a parallel install but more of a in-place upgrade.

As for database maintenance I'm not aware of anything besides the
re-indexing posted here:

You can get the WSUSUTIL from the program files\update services\tools\
directory and Client Diagnostic Tools can be obtained from this link:
