I found this website that gives the following info.

What to Throw Away

Intended For
Windows XP
Windows 2000
Windows Me
Windows 98
Windows 95
When you install (or upgrade to) a new version of Windows, there are many files placed in your root and Windows directories that can be deleted. These include:


In your root directory:

* Anything with the extensions *.TXT, *.PRV, *.LOG, *.OLD, and *.- - -.
* If you don't plan on uninstalling Windows, you can delete WIN95UNDO.DAT (Windows 98 only).


In your Windows directory:

* Anything with the extensions *.LOG, *.OLD, *.- - -, *.BAK, and *.000, *.001 (and so on...)
* Any files with the following dates can also be deleted, for they belong to old versions of Windows:

Im scared at throwing stuff away. Would anyone agree with the above info

i tend to leave the old files after upgrade,as some are shared because the new programe will not install a copy over a copy that is the same version edition.

i never even remove old DAT. and BAK. files.

ok thanks.

If I put these files in the recycle bin and the system runs OK does that mean I can dump them, am I right in saying that the system cant access files in the bin?
