I tried doing a search for this topic, but could not find anything.

While looking through the Program Files and Program Files (x86) folders I noticed that there are 32bit & 64bit versions of Mail, Media Player, Photo Gallery, SideBar and Internet Explorer.

Has anyone tried deleting the x86 versions? Does everything seem to work OK?

I figure that Internet Explorer might be good to have two versions, but the others should be safe to delete.

Any Ideas?

You don't want to delete x86 versions of anything unless you have 64-bit versions of addons; Internet Explorer 64bit requires 64bit Flash.

Not sure if 64bit codecs are required by 64bit WMP.
