| Hi I noticed my daughters PC (emachines E3048, 80GB HD, 2GB RAM) that virtually all of the memory on her C: drive has been used up ! (i.e. only 1.5 GB left out of 68 GB available, remainder on recovery drive). If you open the C: drive, there is more than one Windows folder - it has had to be reformatted twice due to trojans etc. !), the old folders are called Windows.old.000, Windows.old.001 etc. Is it safe to delete these as I assume they are just copies of Windows that it kept prior to the reformatting ? I imagine then that the available memory will improve ?! Thanks Dean ps It was my son who downloaded the trojans by the way - Ali G websites are well dodgy ! |

| Yep ... you should be able to delete them and regain the space.

| Clear them out it should give you back a lot of space |

| I think it is safe to delete them. I doubt that the computer ever uses those files. They were made so you could get system settings that you had before. |
