    How can I delete all previous versions of all files and folders on my hard

    Hello,

    The previous versions of files are part of System Restore. To remove them:

    - Click start
    - Right-click computer
    - Click properties
    - Click System Protection in the left pane
    - Uncheck the drive you want to remove previous versions for

    This will also remove all system restore points on your computer.
