In C drive of my PC I have 3 windows folders. Does anyone know how I can delete the 2 windows that I dont need

the 3 windows folders are called 'Windows', 'Windows 2' and 'Windows 3'. 'Windows 3' is the one that I am currently using which I need, but I want to get rid of the other two windows since it is slowing down my PC.

why do you have 3 in the first place?





firstly dont delete them, rename them and see if it impacts on any registered programmes





if all is well after thorough testing, just delete them out of explorer
Reply:windows folder is where the registry and "OS" is so maybe it is the size that prevents them being deleted or it could be that windows is scanning the folders and reading "OS" and will not delete because it cannot differentiate between an "OS" which is current and one which is redundent, so you could try opening the files and deleting each item individually but why do you think it is version 3 which you are using. Have you considered saving all the files that you want to keep on CDs/memory cards, resetting your system to factory default, and reinstalling your programmes. It might seem like a lot of trouble, but with new updates coming online all the time it might be an easier option in the long run to just start again from scratch
Reply:They are a part of your OS. As someone said, try to rename them, if they cannot be rename, prepare to live with them all. if you can rename them, they could be deleted but you have to be aware that maybe they are functional parts of your system. You choose. One question for you, when you open C drive do you see folders like programs, documents and settings. config, more and more and these three of them? At least, only one must appear, two of them must be fake.
