How Do I remove Duplicate OS Due to Reinstall?

Greetings!

I recently upgraded my processor on my computer, which eventually required
me to reload my XP-Professional.

I reinstalled my XP OS, but somehow either I missed a step, or the program
assumes you've removed the old OS, because after I finished, I had two
relatively complete copies of my OS on my computer. My primary 80 G hard
drive is almost full, mainly because of the duplication.

Is there a way to remove the old version without having to do a complete
reinstall?

Thanks!

You can always try deleting the entire Windows directory (old version)
from the new OS.
