Windows.old folder delete method

Yesterday to the bedroom of the small Yang children's shoes heavy WIN7, installed the system found that the C drive actually has nearly 40G big, under normal circumstances, clean Win7 should not exceed 10G, run to c: one Look, found a folder named windows.old, because the previous system of the children's shoes is Vista, so when installing Win7, microsoft children's shoes default to give it back to the c:Windows.old folder . Since Win7 is already used, the old Vista is of course not used. Right click to delete, the result is of course not.

My approach is:

Open the "Start" - & gt; "program" - & gt;

Accessories and then right-click on the cmd, the shortcut menu select "run as administrator", so that the cmd run as administrator

then it is very simple:.

1

rd /S /Qc: \\Windows.old

note that after running this command it will prompt some directory is not empty, leave it alone. After

such as the command completes, run the above command again look.

so basically Windows.old directory files are deleted out.

Finally, run the command more than once, after after this, even a Windows.old directory itself and kill. OK, it’s done.

then view the C drive and found about 20 less a few G. After

seems pre-installed system or the first disk to format it better, save in eight Hello winded.
