I have reinstalled Microsoft Vista on my pc. When I did it created a folder called "Windows.old". I want to delete this folder.

I had to reload vista microsoft to my pc.  When I did it created a folder called "Windows.old" that contains the old folders and files, some of which are system files.  I am trying to remove the old version (folder), but get the error code 0 x 80070091.  I took possession of the folder and subfolders, but I can't delete the files or folders.  Can anyone help?  Do I have to rename the folders and files, so he doesn't think I'm removing system folders and files?

Thank you!
