Well, this is the database forum - not exactly the appropriate place for this question. However,...

Did you just install Windows XP on top of the previous installation? You can delete any of the files that are not needed. But, a better approach would be to do a reinstallation prefaced by a reformat of the drive to bring it back to a pristine state first.
