Solved Can "Old.Windows" Be Removed To The Recycle Bin

My security and virus program used to take about 15 minutes or less to scan. I used Norton 360. Now it takes about an hour or more. I think it is because I performed some trouble shooting that resulted in Old windows being created and thus the scan process now takes longer. So can I removed Old windows and place it in the recycle bin without affecting my files?

Hello rjordan,

Yes, you can safely delete the Windows.old folder if you like.

You're most welcome.
