If you have upgraded your OS to windows7 or windows8 and opted for not formatting the system partition, it will move the system files and installed program files to a folder named Windows.old
And it won't let you delete this folder. So you are left with a folder which is hardly of any use taking up a lot of hard disk space.
Here is how you can delete it:
1. Open "My computer" and right click the system drive (C: in most cases) and select Disk cleanup
3. From the list, select "Previous Windows installation" and click ok.
And it deletes the folder.
You are welcome.
