first after you have uninstalled the unused OS in your computer there should be programs
that cannot run (because it required information in the uninstalled OS folder). try
to rename the windows (every windows folders that are in computer ) and there must
be no option for you to rename the one that is currently on use. So if you can rename
it, that's mean you can delete it. BACKUP the windows folder that u want to delete
that you need in the removing media or in the other computer before you do that.
This maybe not really the answer but it's worth a try.
