  • thx dude ;)

  • SUBSCRIBE**

  • is it possible to get the windows old folder back after installing the operating system? because i deleted the partition where the old OS used to be

  • @lupita2040 Nope, when you delete the partition, you delete everything on it. 

  • Lol... tought i had a huge virus or something xD turns out i had about 400GB in old windows files lol

  • If you change the boot order in BIOS to boot directly from the CD drive, you can completely wipe the hard drive and you don't have to worry about this shit.

  • How can you recover the old file?

  • Nice its works :))))

  • NIGGA?

  • worked all what i needed to do was to change my old windows on D:\ From Windows >>> Windows.old then Cleanup will detect it , it will not detect it if it was named windows or anything else

  • just deleted about 60GB .. not much but it's still something :) Thanks .. Subbed

  • thanx good

  • what if i want to go back to the previous install how do i do that?

  • @matrixrory If you delete it you won't be able to. But to do that visit this link it explains it. Though it says windows vista you should be good.

  • thanx man... i like it....

  • thanks man it works..

  • Thank you.

  • just cut and paste to your flash drive and delete this folder :))

  • @iloveyou19891 that doesn't work if you don't have a big enough hard drive from experience Windows.old files are usually 60+ gigs

  • @m0303060507 does the folder still have documents in it?

  • im kind of hesitant, some of the files in the windows.old i have dragged to the normal windows is that okay? and when i rebooted my computer there were a lot of missing programs that are still in the windows.old file, will they still re-appear in the new windows file when i delete the old one or will i have re-boot from zero again to get everything back to factory settings?

  • Do a clean install, you should never have a windows.old file if you install windows right

  • @SrtRacerBoy not correct sir...when u upgrade it forces you to have a windows.old file even if u don't want it :)
