    Hey everyone,

    I reinstalled XP on my desktop and am having a weird issue with users in 'Documents and Settings'. Before I had 2 users, 'Family' and 'Internet'. Now I've re-installed and theres only 'Internet'. Then I noticed that I was seriously low on HDD space. When I was looking around I saw that there are loads more users in 'Doc & Settings'. Theres
    • Administrator
    • All Users
    • All Users.WINDOWS
    • Family
    • INTERN~1~FAM
    • Internet
    • Internet.Family

    Now I've found Internet.Family is the one I'm using so how do I delete the others I don't need?

    Thanks

    Ah, you didn't restore your computer, you reinstalled it over your current OS, two Windows folders now (most likely WINNT and WINDOWS). If you right click and Delete the Folders AllUsers, Family and Internet... you should be good.

    I would move your important files from them first though (My Documents, Favourites etc.)

    use spacemonger or similar to see which folders are taking up all the space
