Legacy v7 and v8 have different install folders. v7.5 won't install over v8. I recommend CCleaner by Piriform for cleaning out the registry, but the Legacy uninstall generally does a pretty good job of doing that.
Judith, after uninstalling Legacy, the c:\Legacy folder remains in order to protect your data, saved settings, media, webpages, etc - anything that was changed or added during your use of Legacy is not deleted. If you're sure that everything is out of the c:\Legacy folder that you want to save, just delete the folder.
