Windows.old question

[pinakfans]

I can't delete the windows old folder after I reinstalled the OS. It says I need permission, but I'm the admin.

Welcome
Maybe this will help

If it is permission problem
Use the security tab of the folder, take
ownership, then you should be able to delete it.

For Seven and Vista

You may need ownership first, if you cannot change permissions

Be sure that you have everything that you need from Windows.old, if it is your only back up.
