Is it possible to install the Windows XP system twice in
the same computer?

If it is how can I unistall the latest download?

I am new to the computer systems, please excuse me.

Hi,

Yes, it's possible - Why?

If you accidentally created two installations, simply boot the one you want
and delete the system folders for the one you don't want. Then, start/run
C:\boot.ini and remove the line referencing the unwanted system from the
[operating systems] section.

Hi Lori,

If you're meaning that XP was installed twice in the same partition, have a
look here for information on how to get rid of the one that you don't
need/want:
