unwanted files?

[Alan]

I was scanning my computer for spyware and noticed that the scan not only
included C://windows, but also two folders called 'C://windows.old' and
'C://windows.old.000'. What are these, and can I get rid as they are both in
excess of 1Gb each?

Thanks in anticipation of your help.
