How can i delete old files from my pc ?
I have noticed when doing a security scan that there are still a lot of old temporary files still on my PC, from when i shared it with another user.
How can i delete these?
I do run c cleaner regularly, but i must be doing something wrong ?
I also run disk clean up,which is giving me the option to delete a previous windows installation, [ i had to reinstall my windows vista once due to a fault ]
Should i delete the old installation ?

I would try downloading and running ccleaner (free!).
Go to
http://www.ccleaner.com
It has the advantage that it will never delete anything which is still used. When you do it manually you might.

You probably want some FREE software to do this for you. I can think of 2 very good freeware you can download and use:
Advanced System Care
CCLeaner
There are probably both available at http://www.download.com
