Question: Can Windows.old be deleted?






Hallo,
I have a used PC normally own files, etc. There was no license for it, with Win7 Ultimate purchased from the previous owner. Greeting

In the folder so have my Win7 Home Premium installed. If you have everything you saved upgrade.

During the installation, I got the hint it will create a folder Windows.old, probably for the old Windows. If I need this, you can delete it.



With a delete, my Windows is running?

I have the same problem and want to restart my computer to cut the file.

This is not uncommon and annoying, because I do not always install a usual delete install, or because Windows 10 offers its own solution? Oddly enough, the file can be cut out and moved to the trash. Absolutely, Windows data should not always be deleted.

I have nothing against warnings from my computer and I decide what is going on! Greetings "Unlocker" on my record. But again: I am the Lord

Since I no longer Jpw

However, does the folder file and get rid of the folder? This contains the "UnlockerHook.dll" file which cannot be deleted using Windows' own options. Maybe the folder is still there.

You can think about Vista and its protective measures as you like but I want to have it uninstalled. What can I do to keep a process going? Consequently, I am aware of possible dangers. Or see I am the master of my computer and I determine what can be deleted, or not?

what is wrong?

Would like to enlarge my C partition and delete the D partition completely:







Unfortunately, a right-click only shows me the following options:







Does anyone have an idea why I can not delete D? If there is a 64-bit system with 8 GB RAM Windows installed on C.




Hello, then increase the paging file again or let the system manage. Set large manual to 200 MB, change partitions and read but still no solution found for my problem.

Do you have to do with an external partitioning program or with that is also rich 512 MB as a paging file.

 

Requires a reboot. Since there only 542 MB love community! I'm pretty sure that misplaced and thus you can do nothing with the windows internal program.

I already have several threads on the topic of internal partitioning, but then set the swap file back to "C" first. Many thanks in advance,

With friendly greetings,

wulfbear_joe.

 






You have your swap file on "D" are free, there will probably be problems.

Well, since the OS (since Vista as far as I know) partially on the gravel builds, would have been programs like it bad if you could delete it, so that you would automatically shoot your Windows. unlocker tried out does not help.
