Hello
I upgraded from Win 7 to Win8, and now have a folder named Win.Old listed in Windows explorer.
It takes up 156 MB of space and the correct folder(User) which is similar, takes up 570MB of space.
I guess I installed over rather than cleanly.
Should/can this Win.Old be removed or left as is.?
Thank you
Peter

Thank you for the help. I waited about a month to be sure all is well.
I noticed I lost all restore points except todays and one a long time ago.
I guess that is a necessary side effect.
