Is it safe to delete "windows.old" from my hard disk?
It slows my virus scans down, and takes up room.

Hi,
Provided you've recovered anything from it you want, yes. It is a remnant
from a previous windows installation.

Hi Pete--
A windows.old folder is created when you install vista on a drive that still
has files on it. It is intended to protect files from your previous windows
in case you want them, and in your case you can shift+delete it.

Thanks.
I'll nuke it.
Anyway, I use Acronis backup which has saved my *ss many times!

It's on a time-delay fuse...
Nah. You won't even need the B/U on Acronis...
