    what happens to my windows.old(windows 7) file after 30 days of windows 10 activation?

    Do I need to delete the folder manually as it is taking up extra space of the hard disc.

    Does deleting that folder result in malfunction of current windows 10?

    I already answered this on the very first page of this thread:

    P.S. You won't see the Clean system files button if you run DC as admin. You're doing fine so far; just let the scan complete!

    Running DC as admin is simply a much quicker way compared to running it normally, scanning, then clicking
    Clean system files to relaunch the app as admin, scanning again and finally selecting the options. Hope you got it now.

    Hi there. We get asked this quite regularly.

    If you're happy that everythings working and you have your personal documents, then use. Its best to use the built in disk cleaner to remove it though. When you run it click on the clean up system files button.

    It should be automatically deleted after 10 days but if you can't wait, as swarfega says, use Disk Clean up to clean up system files. We even have a tutorial for it...
