Hey everybody.  I purchased an ODE Level 2 system awhile back and I recently installed Windows 8.  Today I "downgraded" back to Windows 7.  That Win 7 reinstall went smoothly enough, but now over half of my SSD boot drive is being used by a windows.old file.  I'm trying to delete the Windows.old folder but the old system files inside are protected.  I made sure to take off read-only from all the files and folders and I even tried using the 'del' command in the command prompt.  Any advice?
 

 Thanks for your help!

Never mind! I figured it out. If you use the Disk Cleanup utility it gives you the option do deleting previous installations of windows. This cleared it up.
