Welcome to Seven Forums.
Removing XP from a dual boot is not easy. Do not delete these files until you are sure your Win7 will boot, or you will be left with no bootable OS.
Post a snip of your Disk Management.
The Snipping tool is in the start menu.

What steps did you use in EasyBCD?
Unless you re-wrote the Win7 boot manager, it will be booting through these files in the C partition from XP.
If you post the snip of your Disk Management, we should be able to tell if you can delete them or not.
The ntldr is the XP boot files.
If XP is there when Win7 is installed then the boot manager chain will go through XP.
If you delete these Win7 won't boot.

i clicked remove entry in easybcd selected earlier windows and clicked deleted and than save
Your biggest problem is the boot manager will have to be on your "active, system" primary partition, they can not go on a Logical partition.
