    Are they needed?

    I clean installed to Windows 7 Ultimate from Vista and I'm not exactly sure why SWTOOLS and Swshare is still in my C: Drive but I just wanted to know if I could just manually delete them because it's taking up 2GB+.

    I have 64GB SSD so I don't have whole lot of space.

    I have all up-to-date drivers on my external drive.

    Is there special method to delete these two folders or just delete them in normal ways?

    Thanks!

    You can delete them, but I would make a copy before doing so.
