I installed the Beta 7 build 7000 release on a machine with Vista Home Premium that I upgraded to Ultimate 32 bit just before I installed the beta. There are 3 folders that have a variety of data from before the install: $INPLACE.~TR $UPGRADE.~OS $WINDOWS.~Q Is is okay to delete them? The install was super easy, the beta runs so well I can't believe it and it is so fast that I am really impressed. Since it works so well I thought Iwould like to delete them but are the folders required for anything? I did the upgrade install, not the "clean" install.Is there a utility that allows me to browse the folders and delete selectively? I had also run the files and settigs migration on the machine prior to installing the beta. I had the beta running on another machine and thought I would migrate from this one to it. Does that make sense? Can I delete those folders? Should I? ThanksStill thirsty after all these beers

Yes, you can delete them. However, you may want to peruse $WINDOWS.~Q as that may have files from your previous installation. If there is nothing in the folders that you need, feel free to blast them.

Thanks! Much appreciated!Still thirsty after all these beers
