Default I have 2 program files

OK so I re-installed Vista 64 bit and now I have "Program Files" and "Program Files(x86)". "Program Files(x86)" is my new install. I can't delete "Program Files". What can I do to remove it?

Well, how much space does it take up? if it doesnt take up that much space then theres really no rush to delete it right? Also if you want to delete it, is the account your on an administrator account? If it is, and its not working, then try and make a new administrative account, and then go on that account, and see if its there, and if it is, then try and delete it since your on a new admin account.

Wait a minute. I have Vista Home Premium 64 bit and I also have the same two folders. The folder with the x86 is where the 32 bit programs are installed and the 64 bit go in the other. If you look up the properties for IE7 64 bit, it is installed in the Programs Folder. If you look up the properties for IE7 it is in the Programs Folder (x86). Don't delete anything, you need both.
