   If you have the original disc u can boot from cd and start installing xp. when u get to the selection box, select repair existing installation. Finish the repair and reboot.
   Then you can look at and delete everything else.All programs etc previously installed will not be part of the xp reload without reinstalling each of them seperately. otherwise just reinstall and format.

   If you have Windows XP you can go to "start" "programs" "accessories" "system tools" and then "system restore." Pick a date when you had nothing on it and restore.

   Hope that helps.

   Reformat it , your computer should have came with some disks to reformat , when the computer restarts and it is at the start up press F11 and put in the recovery disk , if you don’t have the recovery disk take it to a shop and ask to have it reformatted , its 40 bucks tops

   The best way to do this, is uninstall all the programs you put on it. Most computers have what is known as a restore disk. If you do not have one, uninstall all programs you put on it ONE BY ONE. It is tedious, but may be your only option if you do not have a restore disk.

   If you only have Windows left … then what is it you are going to run faster?
   The only way to clean out Windows is to format and re-install. Every program out there will add something into the registry or the Windows System 32 folder. Good luck trying to figure out what you can and can’t remove.
   So if you want it all cleaned up, format and re-install.
