Installing windows 7 over existing Windows 7

5:00 AM

I installed the Windows 7 Ultimate Edition over the existing Windows 7 Tweaked Gamer edition which had a lot of bugs and minor issues here and there.

5:30 AM

Not able to delete the Windows.old and Windows.old000 folder which were automatically created, due to some issue with access permissions. Moreover there is a huge clutter of folders in the C: which are now of no use. These folders were not removed during the install and Windows is not allowing me to delete them now.

I guess I’ll format C: and again install a fresh copy of windows through USB into it to clean up all the clutter. zzZZ…
