Delete Old Win98 Files

I have upgraded from Win98 SE to Win XP and have a folder C:\Win98 that appears to have all the cabs from the original Win 98 install disk and the directory has 190 meg in it. Under C:\Windows I have a long list of files that are $uninstallxx. This directory is 2.7 gig.
When I upgraded I think I asked to save the old 98 system. I have all the original install disks for 98, can I delete the Directory & files C:\win98. Should I leave Windows directory or can I move the files to DVD ?

Thank you

 

The Win98 files are not needed if you're satisfied with WinXP.

If your PC is behaving properly you can remove the Windows hotfix backup files ($NTUninstallKB...) and their corresponding entries in Add/Remove Programs. To do so, download, extract and run this little script http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/xp_hotfix_backup.htm Create a system restore point first (WinXP) just in case anything goes wrong during the registry updating.

Alternatively, copy them to a CD, manually delete them from the \Windows folder but leave the now orphaned Add/Remove Programs entries intact. Do not delete the $hf_mig$ folder, only the $NTUninstallKB….. folders.

 

Thank you that is what I needed to know.
