Pls use the disk cleanup utility to delete the old windows installation.

When you do a clean install of Windows, the installer often creates a folder called Windows.old (or similar) which contains your previous system files, including user profiles, program files, and settings. Sometimes, during or after the install, Windows or some update tools might leave behind certain files or recreate some XML files like reagentold.xml.
