    I was talking about deleting old xp files on windows 7.I found this item worked.Older files take up too much space on the HDD and make it slower.

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/How-do-I-remove-the-Windows-old-folder

    1. Open Disk Cleanup by clicking the Start button http://res2.windows.microsoft.com/resbox/en/Windows%207/main/4f6cbd09-148c-4dd8-b1f2-48f232a2fd33_818.jpg. In the search box, type Disk Cleanup, and then, in the list of results, click Disk Cleanup.
      If you're prompted to choose a drive, click the drive you just installed Windows on, and then click OK.
    2. In the Disk Cleanup dialog box, on the Disk Cleanup tab, click Clean up system files.
      If you're again prompted to choose a drive, click the drive you just installed Windows on, and then click OK.
    3. Select the Previous Windows installation(s) check box, and any other check boxes for the files you want to delete, and then click OK.
    4. In the message that appears, click Delete Files.

    Looks like post #2 & #3 were being typed out at the same time. But an acknowledgment of your post would have been nice. :)
    Cheers..
