[SOLVED] Windows 10 problem

[Bamarin [IT]]

So after upgrading to Windows 10 (from Windows 7) I noticed Windows made a "Windows.old" folder just like when you reboot the system. In this folder there are only the programs that couldn't be kept (such as the Antivirus and some other shit) this makes this folder useless and so I want to delete it. The problem is I can't delete it neither using Admin permission:

To modify this folder, SYSTEM autorization is needed

It says something like that.
I checked the safety proprieties and i gave every autorizzation to everyone, but still nothing changes.

Do you guys have the same problem? DO you know how to solve it?

Also, after the upgrade the free space in my disk decreased so fast i didn't even noticed it: From some GB now I have only few MB, The only thing I installed were some apps, Gmod updates, and Windows updates. I don't even know how to uninstal these apps, I need help with this W10

As Creepis said, it's there in case you want to recover your system from an OS upgrade. Keep it. Delete other stuff off of your PC.

Well you could try going into the cmd prompt by holding the Windows key and pressing X. Then you could google how to delete the old folder.
I'm just full of good ideas.

@Pusheen

I know what is it

this makes this folder useless

Why should I waste 7GB of space on my disk? plus I know it's only 7GB, but I don't know what end did the rest of the space I had before, for sure I'm not going to delete my personal files
[DOUBLEPOST=1439470784,1439470269][/DOUBLEPOST]Update: I don't know what happened: after installing Unlocker as suggested by @Exnem I was expecting something like an error saying "Insufficent space to instal the program on your computer", but instead it succesfully installed so I checked my free space on the disk and now it's 47,3 GB

Problem solved I guess, I'll let it opened till tomorrow to see if something changes and the problem comes back again.

This seems to have been solved, so therefore it will be closed
