New XP installed but old programs are still there

I had a Windows XP Home Edition OS, and I re-installed it
with the re-installation CD. Surprisingly the
previous "Program Files" directory still exists and all
the previously installed program diretories with files
are still there. Is there a way to re-install the same OS
while erasing all the programs?

Thanks,
Will
 
Hi Will,

That's what happens when you reinstall rather than repair install. Simply
delete the folders from the old installation.
