[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1641887, member: 46727"] You can safely remove the "windows.old" folder after you look through it and make sure there is nothing there that you need. I doubt there will be since those files will be system files and likely loads of *.dll files from Windows 7. All I can tell you is that a normal Windows 7 x 64 bit installation will easily take up 20 GB of hard drive space. And that's before you add programs and whatever fluff you like. Windows 8.1 x 64 bit is going to take up more space. I have no idea what else you have installed in your Boot Camp partition. However, if your Boot Camp partition has 193 GB of useable space and now you only have 103 GB free, that means you're using 90 GB. Subtract the Windows old folder and you're down to using around 79 GB. I'm not able to look at your hard drive so I have no idea what you have that could be taking up the space. What other programs have you installed in Windows? [/QUOTE]
