type     VSP1CLN   in the Run... A DOS box will open and ask if you want to get rid of the useless stuff that filled your HDD. Click Y and let it do its job. Now your Vista install is clean again.

DO NOT USE THIS IF YOU EVER WANT TO REMOVE (highly not likely) SP1. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE AFTER THIS!!!!

Does this junk effect the performance in anyway?

Well like always, more empty disk space isn't bad. Run SP1 for a week, and if you get no strange errors/things, you can safely use this to get rid of 1gig of useless files.

Here is more info about it, as well as extra options for the command line:
