It depends on which updates you remove and also when you installed the software.
Some of the updates have to do with security and others are more for better functionality.
Most of the time removing the update will not hurt your applications, but removing things like Service Packs can cause a lot of problems and lead to you needing to reinstall applications.

Those are security updates for XP. It's safe to remove them, but the system will be more vulnerable. It's advisable to leave them as they are because they usually don'e take much space from the hdd (they are usually either improved versions of files that already existed on your pc or some dlls...)
