Everything has a serious issue.
Everything only records changes in Windows! I could not remove the directory windows.old after installing the Fall update. So I used the live DVD with Knoppix (A LinUx OS) to remove the directory. When I restarted Windows Everything still displayed files in the windows.old directory until I forced Everything to rebuild. So somehow Everything starts -when Windows starts - with an existing database and only updates changes done under Windows; fast but not reliable. I would not qualify this as a bug, but when you know this "feature" it can save you a lot of time.
Deleting old installation files can be done inside windows via "Disk cleanup" (cleanmgr.exe) -> "[Clean up System files]" -> "[x] Previous Windows installations(s)"
No need to boot Linux for this.
And yes, a windows program can only monitor file system changes while it is running.

I know that; but you obvious miss the point why I posted this. It was just an example which showed the sequence what can happen.HolgerK wrote:Deleting old installation files can be done inside windows via "Disk cleanup" (cleanmgr.exe) -> "[Clean up System files]" -> "[x] Previous Windows installations(s)"

Also the thread topic is complete nonsense.
There is no serious issue in Everything and the way the poster deleted old Windows installation is more than strange.
2 Minutes of Google would give the right Windows command.
