Delete Windows.old on your C: drive

Usually, but not always, after installation of Windows 7 you have a Windows.old folder on your C: drive that contains your files and data from the previous installation of Windows and allows you to go back to a previous version of Windows. Open Windows Explorer and under 'Computer' click the C: drive - if the Windows.old folder is on your hard drive, it will contain all of your files to the Windows system, and it can be removed if you do not need to free up space on your hard drive.

If she's not here, make sure you can see the Windows.old folder:
1. click on start, type: hidden
2. click on 'display the hidden files and folders '.
3. Click to select "show the hidden files and folders".
4. click OK and look for the folder
(Note: when you go back and uncheck the "Show files and folders")

How can I remove the Windows.old folder?
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/how-do-I-remove-the-Windows-old-folder

If the Windows.old folder does not remove:
In Windows Explorer, you should see a folder called Windows.old on your C: drive. That contains all of your files from your previous installation. If you need all the files, you can copy them to another folder and then delete Windows.old. If you do not need anything in the folder, it is safe to delete.

  • Windows 7, cannot remove the burn files after back to the top

    I have a 64 bit Windows 7 laptop. A year ago I started a return upwards to put on a disc. The backup failed at the time because I ran out of records to put on (had no idea that it would take as much!).

    Since then I tried to delete these temporary burn files from the F drive, but every time I click on the option, it breaks down and wrote files are used by another program. I went through and individually deleted most of them, but I still have a few huge to get the judgment and cannot remove the program (86), or on the desktop to the top, mean that they are used by another program.

    I burned a CD of all these left during the backup of files and that worked, but the files are still sitting in my drive F, I still can't delete the temporary versions... its taking a lot of space and I got the bsod a couple of times.

    I also tried folder in the start menu and delete the temporary files in this way, but it did not result in the F drive.

    I tried to rename the temporary files so that I could remove them too, but not to chance it.

    I have disc clean up all the time, this doesn't always help with the F drive.

  • Need help! I need to reinstall LR5.5 on a new computer, but have lost the key to the previous version 4, which was probably on the packaging. I have the key to Version 5 upgrade, but LR is also claiming the old key (lost) - Please HELP!

    I bought LR4 in 2012 on amazon, and I can't find the package containing the key again. I have to move to a new computer now and LR5 keeps asking me for the key of the old version, but I only have the upgrade key that I bought in 2013 by Adobe.

    When I installed LR5 on my old computer last year, I had of course always the key, because I can see that it had been entered on the Help menu, but there are only points for the numbers.

  • After that installation of Windows 10 cannot remove messages from the Inbox and was told to change my browser.

    I can't delete the emails often. Sometimes if I score one or two to remove it will work. When I have several and click on remove nothing happens. Also, when I delete an element of it is open and then return to my Inbox it is not deleted. I asked the support of Yahoo and the suggestion that came was change my browser, I don't want to do. Can you help me? Thank you.

    I understand that the messages will not be deleted when you manage your webmail in Firefox. I'd be more than happy to help, however I might suggest trying first Safe Mode to ensure that it is not not a hardware acceleration or add on interfering with the operation of the site.

  • My sound stopped working after an upgrade to Windows 7.

    I upgraded to Windows 7 (Professional) about seven months ago and never had a problem with it until last night when Windows said they had to install some updates 'important '.  After restarting my computer to complete the update, my sound did not work.  There is a small red "x" on the speaker icon in my taskbar and it does not at all.  Windows has identified the problem, saying that "one or more of the audio service is not running."  Well Yes, obvious.  When I clicked for more information, he said that "two windows audio and Windows Audio end Point generator services must run for audio working properly."  At least one of these services is not running. "Windows cannot resolve the problem, and help desk does not give me ideas for specific things that could be the cause.  My guess is that when Windows has been updated level and facility, has installed the audio drivers upgraded properly, but that's just a guess.  In any case, I wish that it be fixed as soon as possible.  In my opinion, it's a fairly common fault in the Windows 7 operating system, it seems to me that since it has been discussed previously, a person must be able to tell me how to solve this problem.  I have not tried anything yet.  And besides, I use a laptop Sony VGN - FW.

    Hello

    type services.msc in the search from the start menu and run the tool found.

    Now, sure, that these two services are running.

    You now have sound? Also install the latest drivers for your sound card.

    How to roll back to vista after an upgrade to windows 7?

This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.

    ------------------------------------

    This is how the recovery partition is available for the most popular brands

    For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

    For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo
