Hello All!
Thanks to our very good and knowledgeable friend Gene NZ! I was able to get rid of the family of windows.old directories which had taken over my hard drive! We all on this list owe a great deal of gratitude to Gene NZ for all the knowledge he is always sharing here on the list! Thank You! All for all of your great suggestions and advice!!! -- Carlos Gonzalez - Los Angeles, CA. - gmjc341961@... |

Gene's a good mate. Interesting that this would come up. One of my clients has a system that I'm working on with the very same problem; however, I'm not sure of the procedures to remove the old files, and recover and preserve those that are useful. I want to make sure I don't damage any of the necessary files that run the current setup. Tony On 7/9/2017 8:31 AM, Carlos wrote:

The folders named like "Windows.old" must be deleted through Windows disk clean up. 1. Start disk clean up by "local disk c:" properties. 2. Wait for creation the liste of the deletable files, and pres alt+s. 3. Wait for list again. 4. check list items You want to clean. (I always check all items.) for Windows.old folders, check "old Windows installation files". 5. pres "ok", "delete files", and "yes" buttons. 6. wait for cleaning. That's all. -----Original Message-----

If You used 3rd party software like unlocker before disk clean up method, some files or folder may not be deleted any more.
