Hi Kate. If you have uploaded them into sites like ImageShack, or PhotoBucket, etc, then you can delete them from your system:)

Hi LH No I just copied uploaded them direct from Print Screen ( Gadwins) onto the forums. So I have not saved them anywhere ...

I didn't think that was even possible ? So you sent IMG code direct from your computer ? Do you ever turn your computer off for the night (for example)

Kate, if they are stored merely in a Gadwin folder then to them would not affect your uploaded images. The Gadwin folder is a local folder, not public. If you are not going to use them again then they are safe to delete.
Print Screen in Windows really performs the same function (capturing the whole) which can be pasted into Paint (CTRL+v)or any other document for that matter, and saved and then can be manipulated later.
Remember the option in Vista and Win 7, snipping tool found in accessories, (I much like and prefer this option), which allows specific area capture.
Gadwin is now really old tech but was quite useful in XP and Vista.
Hope that helps Kate

Yes, if you actually uploaded them then they would also reside on the system you uploaded them to. So you should be able to delete them without problem.

Thanks all, Mike I still use Gadwins as on Vista and still goes straight to programme and then I just open with Paint or Photo Filtre,crop etc then drag and drop... snipping tool I have not really looked at.. Maybe this old brain should give it a go..
So will now try and delete a few folders......
