Delete the Windows.old folder automatically

This folder will contain a full backup of your previous installation of Windows 8 or Windows 7. The folder also contains your boot manager and installed applications.windows tools

This feature is very convenient if you plan to uninstall your current installed version Windows and return to the previous installed version. It may also be useful if you have forgotten to transfer some files or settings to the new installation.

Below we describe how to delete it using built-in Window tools instead of simply deleting the folder from Explorer.

cleanmgr

Θα εμφανιστεί το cleanmgr. Κάντε δεξί κλικ πάνω του και επιλέξτε “Εκτέλεση ως ”. Όταν ανοίξει η εφαρμογή, περιμένετε μέχρι να τελειώσει με τον υπολογισμό χώρου του δίσκου σας.
Scroll down, at the end of the list of options you will find the option to delete the previous installation of Windows. Select it and click on OK.

You're done, of course you can also delete the C:\Windows.old folder manually, but Disk Cleanup will automatically resolve the permissions s of NTFS and will delete all files that are not accessible from your account.

Στην περίπτωση μιας  χειροκίνητης διαγραφής, θα πρέπει να επιλύσετε αυτά τα δικαιώματα , διαφορετικά δεν θα είστε σε θέση να διαγράψετε όλα τα αρχεία του φακέλου C:\Windοws.old.
