Program files/Common Files

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion (More info?)

Some maybe Yes, others No because they may be shared. Rename the folder/s for
each app not presently installed and see if anything balks. If nothing balks
after about a week or 2, send each renamed folder to the Recycle Bin one at a
time every few days. Do Not Empty the bin until you are 100% the folders/files
are not needed.
