Just delete it.ok, i deleted it and installed and ran all of those programs. my computer is working great now. but next should i get all of the files out of the backup that i need and then delete it because its taking up a lot of space.What backup files?it was CREATED when i reinstalled windows, it has every thing in it that was on my computer be for i reinstalled it.Keeping this kind of backup file on your computer sort of defeats the purpose. If something happens then you can't get to it to restore. Iy needs to be on a CD or flash drive or somewhere.i just had it put in a backup because there were a few things that i hadnt put on a cd yet. it copied the ENTIRE C drive so now i have a bunch of backed up system filesDo you have your Windows INSTALL CD?yeaOK that contains all of your system files so all you really need to backup are documents, pictures, music etc and put that on a DISK.so should i just delete all of the extra system files and stuff thats taking up space in the backup driveYes you can since you have the install CD they are all on that already.

Just backup to a disk all of your personal files.
