How to cancel a transfer of files of Windows XP to Windows 7?

Cancel a transfer of files from Windows XP to Windows 7, or remove files from Windows 7 without having to format my hard drive because Microsoft lied in regard of Windows Easy Transfer transfer only what was selected.

I stupidly thought the video Microsoft on how to make an easy transfer from the Windows of an old pc that is running Windows XP to Windows 7. I went through and customized transfer and only has 1 verified folder, but not only is he transferred the file, but it also transferred everything on XP without my selecting. In fact, I had deselected everything except the 1 folder.

So now, how can I get this _c * r * a * p___ on the new computer laptop running Windows 7 without having to format?

You know, I had no problem transfer this file even the XP to XP one another nor I transferred the same XP over Vista. And Microsoft has the nerve to brag about the pre-installed Windows Easy Transfer 7 as being much better and easier to handle compared to previous versions?

In addition, the video on the Microsoft site when it shows the steps of Windows 7 Easy Transfer, is incorrect. Not only once he asked me where I wanted to send the folder on the pc with Windows 7.

Hi Cowtale,
 
Please note Windows Easy Transfer is a migration in one way and you will not be able to restore the original settings.

I suggest to format the drive, then run Windows easy transfer on your computer.
