• How can I delete windows.old folder without losing the hibernation file.

  Mr President.

  I recently refreshed my system and a unwanted windows .old file has been generated and it consumes 11 GB of my disk space. So Iwould like to delete this file but the HP support assistant gave me a warning that I should not remove hibernation and sleep file, otherwise I would lose this facility of my system. Thanks for mentioning the steps I have to do to remove the same.

  Yours faithfully,

  Hello

  Folder Windows.Old has nothing to do with the Hibernate. If uou wishes, you can remove it using cleaning system, not normal to delete, to explore. The following steps see the way in which:

  1. Open Disk Cleanup by clicking on the button start . In the search box, type and then disk cleanup in the list of results, click Disk Cleanup.

     If you are prompted to choose a drive, click the drive that you have just installed Windows on and then click OK.

  2. In the dialog box disk cleanup, on the Disk Cleanup tab, click on clean up system files.

     If you are again prompted to choose a drive, click the drive that you have just installed Windows on and then click OK.

  3. Select the check box Previous Windows installations and the other check boxes for files that you want to remove, and then click OK.

  4. In the message that appears, click on delete files.

• How can I remove the old Windows folder to a different drive?

  Original title: Old files Windows, Program Files, etc.

  I tried to use before Disk Cleanup and it worked, and I haven't run a complete installation.

  I'm having a problem now, this time, and I did a full install.  Disk Cleanup doesn't show any options to remove an old Windows as it did before.

  How can I remove the old Windows folder to a different drive?  I also try to remove the Program Files folder, as well as with an implementation since.

  It is showing an error message "I need to be in the Administrators group ~", and that TrustedInstaller is owner of the present.

  I have a question that "TrustedInstaller" has full authority on the file system, and 'Administrators' has limited access.

  I noticed that there are other three to make a total of four names of users who have all or nearly full access to the file system.

  Can it be fixed... it's pretty annoying to see this continue..., strictly through Windows Update.

  I look forward to your reply.

• I can trash the Windows.old folder?

  If I'm happy to stay with Windows 10, I can delete the Windows.old folder? It contains 126 956 and 30.1 GB files.

  If I do not need, could reclaim that space.

  Hello:

  If you are absolutely sure you don't need all the files in this folder and that you're absolutely sure that you do not want to return to your previous operating system (or you have recovery discs that can give in any case), then Yes you can delete the Windows.old folder.

  Here's how...

  Run the disk cleanup utility.  Let him do the disk cleanup window.

  Then on the left side of the bottom of the window, click clean up system files.

  Then he turns again and arrives at the disk cleanup window, and you can check all the boxes to remove the files.  One of them will be the windows.old folder.

  Hi, Malcolm

  For this model of laptop, it is quite complicated because the STRANGE is from both sides. First you must remove the small screw placed in the Middle near the coverage of memory in the lower corner of your laptop (also near the cooling rack). The STRANGE is also secured with small hook placed under the keyboard.

  At the right place of this small hook is not known but I know that it is placed somewhere under the keyboard. I don't really know what you need to do. Have you already tried to remove the keyboard?

  I have to be honest and it's not so easy to give instructions here because I don't know if you're familiar with the disassembly. I don't want damage you something on your laptop. Small error can ends with a broken plastic cover. Please be careful.

• How can I remove the old mail account passwords?

  My work e-mail account requires that I change the password every 90 days. I had to do this last Friday. I also changed the password of e-mail. Now I keep getting locked on the account due to the fact that Mail continues to try to connect with the old password instead of a new. Where the previous passwords are stored, and how can I remove them?

  Passwords are saved in the Keychain application located in your Utilities folder. You can search for passwords here. Normally when you change the password of an account, it needs to update this info in the keychain also unless you change other information like the name of the server.

  Quit Mail, find the passwords for the incoming server and outgoing for the account. Remove them in Keychain Access. Open Mail and provide the password when asked.
