I've done a reinstall of Windows XP Professional and everything worked fine. Now when I do a disk cleanup it comes up with System Restore: Obsolete Data Stores 780 986. IS IT SAFE TO DELETE THESE FILES?
Many thanks!

These are files that were created before Windows was reformatted or reinstalled. They are obsolete and you can delete them.
