How to delete the Windows.old folder, many novices are not very clear about this, in order to help you solve this problem, the following editor will explain for you in detail, people with this need can come to learn, I hope you can gain something.

If Windows is already installed on the hard drive and there is no appropriate upgrade, but when you install a new Windows on the hard drive, a Windows.old folder will be created. The existing Windows folder has been renamed to "Windows.old" and its child file / User contains all the user profile information. Therefore, when you reinstall Windows on your hard disk, it is easy to migrate user data manually or automatically.

Please note that if there is a Windows.old folder or just a residual Windows directory on a non-boot drive, the above functions cannot be achieved. The disk cleanup tool only searches for old Windows installations within the current system drive. In addition, when you try to delete Windows directories on other drives within Windows, you will encounter permissions or other problems, as described at the beginning.

To solve this problem, you can start the installation media, go to the Recovery Console (recovery console) command line, and perform the delete operation. This will allow you to avoid the problems encountered by deleting folders in the traditional way.
