Solved Windows.old is no longer located

[Rawad]

So I recently Installed Windows 8 and with Windows 8 came my windows. Old folder. I did a disk clean up and here's what came up.I don't understand why the folder is still there when it can't be found.

Hello Rawad,

It may be a ghost. See if refreshing (F5) the window may remove the windows.old folder. If not, then see if restarting the PC does.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

You could also try restarting the computer as well.

Did you folks read Brinks post #2.
If not, then see if restarting the PC does.

Running a disk cleanup should not have deleted your windows.old folder.

I did not think it would come up on the list.

Ahh, I see you would have to dig a little deeper to get it on the list. I was thinking of the initial list it throws up.

Alright So the whole Windows.old folder is gone after a clean installation of Windows 8. I am sure there are other ways to fix this small problem . I didn't reinstall windows 8 for that reason, I installed it cause it was going to slow.

Glad to hear that you got it running smoothly now.
