So, I Reinstall My Os.

Win7Ultimate on my lappie (Dell Latitude E6400

And I'm trying to clean up old files to create more HD space.

But even as an admin I don't have permissions to remove windows.old files. Help?

 

Use Disk Cleanup. You will find it on the disk Properties. While there be sure to also run the cleanup of system files.

 

I will give it a try, Thank you.

 

when you open disk cleanup it will scan for junk files and other stuff then you see a pop up box at the bottom you will see a button which says clean up system files click that and it reload the box and then you can delete windows.old folder

 

I think I will have to use Lenux live of some flavor to clean them Windows keeps choking on their attributes and file names, even though it is a totally dead dirctory. AI's arem't always smart. Does the same thing with cleanup.
