I've been struggling to get Windows 10 installed onto a new SSD I put into my old Dell XPS desktop. I made a bootable USB drive, but it kept going back to the beginning of the process over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. No one told me that you must take the USB drive out. I'm sorry, but I cannot read minds. I didn't know that. Finally, my son found a video on YouTube telling me that. So, at the appropriate time we removed it and FINALLY I was able to complete the process. Now, I've got a HECK of a lot of Windows.Old (x) folders. Can I just get into File Explorer, highlight the bunch and press delete? I've tried, three times, to use the Disk Cleanup utility. It wouldn't delete those Windows.Old (x) folders. So, how do I get rid of them?Solved3KViews0likes1CommentNew white paper providing guidance for sizing NTFS volumes
