Did my first ever over the top upgrade from original Windows 11 to 22H2, anyways i ran storage sense, and disk cleanup, it said Previous WIndows Installation Removed, but Windows.Old folder still present on C NvMe SSD drive.
Do i have to take the time and do a clean install anyways of everything just to get rid of that folder?
I assume if i did clean install right i'd just setup my normal MS Account as Main account, then somehow add my Local PC Admin account after the install, and switch the MS Account one back to Standard user, and keep Local PC Admin one as Admin
Alot of work, but don't want C space taken up for useless files if i can help it. Should i shutdown and disconnect all other drives first, or will doing clean install be fine if i go that route with all of them connected, and just wipe the M.2 SSD, and do the clean install, then wipe the other drives once system back up and running and user accounts sorted.
