I've just upgraded my grandmother's laptop from XP to 7. Her windows.old file was taking up over 25 gigs of hard drive space. When I started deleting it, she restarted the computer after installing AVG, so I tried deleting it again, but after I did, there was still a massive amount of space being taken up, 55 gigs out of 70. Any thoughts on the matter guys?
