After many re-installs from older betas, my disk space is rapidly
diminishing!
Can I delete the Windows.old, Windows.old.001, 002, etc. folders without
harming
my current installation? There are no files I need from any of the earlier
incarnations.
Many thanks,

Dave

Yes, you can delete these.

They are simply backup copies of the previous windows folders that the Vista
installer needed to replace, and aren't used by the current installation.

HI Jimmy,

Thanks for the answer.
I've accumulated so much "garbage" that AV scans, etc. are taking much too
long!
Off to have a "delete party"...

Dave
