I'm having a tough time with disk space since I replaced Windows 98 with Windows XP Home Edition. When I go to Local Disk (C) I see Win98 with 105 MB. Can I send this to the recycle bin and create more space? Any other ideas to create more space? I couldn't run disk fragmentation last night because I only had 3% left and it required 15%. What else can I do?
Thanks
Steve

If when you upgraded to Windows XP, you choose to save prior OS then the
Win98 folder is your prior OS files. Go to Control Panel Add/Remove
Programs. You should find and entry {likely near the end} to remove your
old OS files. Use That.

Right click on My Computer and select Properties and then the System Restore
tab. Select you drive and click on Settings. Reduce the amount of disk space
used by System Restore. Reducing disk space will also reduce the number of
restore points saved. After you defrag, you could increase the disk space if
your choose.

Examine the programs installed on your computer for which you have the
installation media. Uninstall those you rare use until you get a larger
drive or a second drive

after deleting of all the temp files, you might think about installing a second HD for your system

when installing new applications or/and games, you're going to get disk full errors in the near future.
