how to delete windows.old

External Since: Jun 11, 2006 Posts: 8

I keep trying to delete the windows.old files as it is taking up tons of
space. I can't get it to delete. It keeps telling me I don't have sufficient
privledges, but I am the administrator.

Take ownership of the folder - or delete each folder inside the Windows.old
folder one by one - or boot in safe mode and delete through there Surprised
