Windows xp

Hello

Why not format and reinstall Windows?

If the drive has sensitive data on it then use to erase the data before the format. Remove the data-
run these to erase the disc - then format and reinstall Windows.

CCleaner has the ability to erase free space.

CCleaner - free - download of Piriform or FileHippo (below the offer costs).
