| | HOW DO I DELETE MY WINDOWS.OLD FOLDER? I just upgraded from Vista to 7 and am trying to delete my windows.old folder. However I am having trouble doing so. I keep getting messages saying I need permission from either trustedinstaller or system. I've tried to change the permissions by going to properties>security but I get an "Error Applying Security" access denied message every time. This also happens to me in safe mode as well. How do I get around this? Please help me out as detailed as possible! Thanks! |

| | You can also try the safe mode. If nothing helps, you can always boot from a LiveCD (any Linux will certainly work, DOS maybe, but I haven't tried that myself) and delete the folder. |

| | The built in program (disk cleanup) usually does the trick. Make sure after it has scanned, that you have the item ticked for deletion. |
