so i changed my pc to a new one, but same ssd drive and everything else, but i did switched the cpu and gpu from intel/nvidia to AMD/AMD.
the problem is that, after i switched it, the ssd were i storaged the system has another window system, but the file was rename as "old window" and that file took alot of space of my ssd, but i dont know should i deleted without worries or i should keep it.

#

im using WizTree to see which file is taking the most storage of my ssd, and i found t he file name windows.old

#

that old one is literally taking 69.0 GB and thats alot

#

but im afaird if i delete it, my computer wont work again

#

and aparently i didnt do my homework before i switch the computer, i still have some nvidia file in my system thats is now running with AMD Gpu, that also is taking storage but somehow i cannot delete it

Reinstall the os

#

You’re switching motherboard and even chipsets (Intel to amd)

computer work, but that file called window.old bothers me

#

yes

#

i basically just switched everything except my storage drive

You could backup important files on the ssd, make a windows bootable drive, and try deleting that folder. If everything’s fine, continue as normal. If it breaks, reinstall.

wait, i just manage to force delete the nvidia drive

#

with anti malware

#

the only problem is that am i safe to delte the window.old

lavish lantern
#

i just backup my file with dropbox

#

also used the window cloud

if theres 2 windows folders 1 being the old one from the other system then there will be 2 system32's meaning the old one should be fine to delete as you have a new one

lavish lantern
#

this is where its located, in my C drive. i think i should be safe in delete it

dusty plaza
#

but i would also say do what creeper said and back things up that is valuable to you just incase things go south

lavish lantern
#

lavish lantern
#

FIXED

dusty plaza
