I just installed Leopard. I had problems installing it so had to do it 3 times . the third time I used archive and install.
I had 19 GB before all the installs and now I have only 3.5GB. Can you please tell me what I can delete to recover some of it back. The previous systems folder has only 4 GB in it.
Thanks.

it backed up your system folder from Tiger.
Just make sure Leopard runs well, then delete that backup.

I changed the title of your thread-it was frankly useless.
What kind of problems did you have with the installation? And can you post how big your systems folder is right now? My Tiger System folder is 2.15GB (20" aluminum iMac), and I'll bet that an uncustomized Leopard installation would be bigger than that by maybe 50% or so.

That "system" folder only contains a fraction of the actual OS.

It's the only metric I could think of at the moment...

I did the upgrade and install and Leopard only took about 5 GB's of space on my mini.
