Clean install over Vista but still have several duplicates old files?
Hello
I am new to this forum and looking for help (arn't we all).
I had a Dell laptop that has 3 hard disk partitions.
C: = Data (298 GB)
D: = OS (282 GB)
(I take it that this partition was meant to be for the operating system but Vista and programs were on C: when I purchased from Dell???
E: = Recovery. (14.9GB)
I went for a clean install of Windows 7 x64 on C: I was told to leave everything as it is as a clean install will wipe everything off anyway.
The install went well, but on checking I find that I had 2 x Windows Old and all my old program files duplicated on both the C: & D: drives. C drive is now half full and D drive is 75% full. I tried to move the old program files to an external hard drive (just in case) but most of the files cannot be moved. I have administrator permissions but I still cannot delete or move this files. I have seen the disk cleanup method for the Windows old files but these folders do not show up. This also does not help with the duplicate programs files on both drives.
Any help will be much appreciated.
