Windows 7 Home Premium

Hi all

I have been runnning Windows 7 Release Candidate & today installed Windows 7 Home Premium. Everything have been removed form the PC as it's a clean install. The problem is I now have a folder called Windows.old on the C:drive along with the new windows folder.
Do I need to keep this Windows.old folder or can I delete it, it's about 50GB in size

When performing the installation you probably didn't choose to format the target installation drive.

You can delete the Windows.old if there is nothing you want to keep from the old installation. i.e. files, no programs.
