How to delete windows.old000 folder which size is 700GB?

OxyGenas · Jan 18, 2015

Hi!I just reinstalled my windows 7, I have an windows.old000? Size of this folder is like 700-800GB and disk cleanup just won't run it. It loads for hours and still won't load any other options?

Disk Cleanup is the way to get rid of it.

Disk Cleaup loads for hours and still won't load. Any other options please?

OxyGenas :

No, that is the way to delete it.

The thing you need to fix is....why does Disk Cleanup take hours to load?

You can also try right-clicking on the folder, Properties, Security. From there, first take ownership of the folder, then you can delete it like any other folder. Yes, it will take a while, you have thousands of files there.

Use Unlocker to get the access to be able to delete it.

If you do not need the space I suggest you leave it alone .
It is potentially useful if you ever want to roll back the system
