i have recently upgraded to windows 7 from vista an i now have a windows.old folder and its taking up like 20gb of space is it safe to delete?
Yes
It's stuff that you had on your computer before you installed Windows 7.
im just uncertain because my wireless driver is in there [editline]01:38PM[/editline] dont worry its deleting it takes forever though.
Nothing in Win.old is used. It's just there so you can go back and get your files. To delete it I recommend using Disk Cleanup (With Clean System Files enabled).
ok i have done it now thank you
