Cannot delete old Windows?

[ttaskmaster]

Heya,

I recently switched from an old Q6600 on a 775 to an AMD 6350 on a M5A78L-LE (AM3+). This meant reinstalling Win7 64.

At the time, I did not have space on my C: for a new partition, so the install went on to my D:, making that my new Boot drive.
All works fine, except that I cannot delete the old Windows folders from my former C: - Any ideas why that might be and how I can remove them?

I believe I have full Admin access to everything (there's only my account on the whole system).
I was wondering if it'd be beter to copy the files (mainly Steam games) I want saved to an ExtHDD, format the old C: and then copy the saved files back?


I've not actually done any of this before, so does anyone have any thoughts?

Cheers,
Tasky.

Run disk cleanup make sure you select cleanup system files and that will give you the option to delete it.
