A very stupid question but I can't find the answer. I've
upgraded over win 98se and I understand that the old win
98 files are stored. My hard drive is now massively
loaded and I want to remove the backup files. How do I do
this?

TIA,,

Brian

They should show as an option to remove when you run Disk Cleanup.
Add/Remove Programs should have an item too. NOTE: If you've converted your
file system to NTFS, the Win98 files would have been removed for you during
that process.
