I couldnt repair my previous XP installation, so when I reinstalled the OS I
created a new windows directory since I was afraid to lose my data. Now the
drive looks full (10gb). How can I uninstall the previous XP without losing
any of my programs?

When you reinstalled XP did you do a Parallel Install? Do you get a Menu
on boot that gives you a choice between the two
XP OS's. Or did you do a Repair Install?

Hi,

You don't uninstall, you simply delete the directories from the other
installation.
