| | Is it safe to delete my windows.old folder? I recently just re-installed Windows 7 because basically it became very corrupt, now it's no longer corrupt and I have a Windows.old folder and I was wondering if it's even necessary to have it now? So is it safe to delete it? Because it consumes A LOT of space on my computer. |

| | If you are sure you don't want any files from it. Windows.old Folder - Delete It's a tough folder to copy to a backup drive. The only thing I found that would handle it is RichCopy Otherwise you just watch Explorer counting the files for 5 hours.  But most of the stuff is files under the old Program Files and old system files. It won't hurt your system to delete it. |
