Quick overview:
When you install a new version of Internet Explorer, a folder is created on request in which the files of the old Explorer are located. There are also remnants of the old IE in the Windows registry, which is why I recommend deleting the old backup folder and its associated registry entries to completely clean up any Windows 98 system.
Delete Internet Explorer backup folder - How to proceed
1. Click on Start > Settings > Control Panel and select Software in turn.
2. A list appears in which you locate Internet Explorer and double-click on it.
3. In the next selection dialog, select Advanced. Here, select Delete the backup information for Internet Explorer and confirm with OK.
4. Confirm the message that appears after you have clicked OK with Yes. After this, you can no longer delete or repair Internet Explorer.
