Default Remove previous install of xp

There seem to be a ton of fixes for every related problem but mine! I
have two Windows directories on my C: drive, C:\Windows and C:\XPHOME.
I use C:\Windows and need to completely delete C:\XP HOME. I don't
need to reinstall or reformat the disk, just get rid of the XPHOME
directory and all its files. How???

Thanks.

In order to receive directed help - you will need to explain why you have
two 'windows' directories on your C: drive. Depending on your answer, there
may not be a way - as it could be using both.

This could be Good, Bad, or Ugly depending on which grave the XP install is
buried in.
