Can i wipe my Sony Vaio laptop without my Vista discs?

Question

I bought my Sony Vaio (VGN-FE48E) laptop a while back, but never received discs with it. I am aware now that i was supposed to make a backup of vista. I did not do this, so i just have the version on here that it came with. 

I am looking to wipe my computer but the only version i have is Windows XP, is there any way i can free up my computer space and get rid of old unnecessary programs etc without needing to re-install the Windows disc? If not, would XP be okay? Thanks
