It might be stopping you because the files are locked, and for good reason...

hes using win7 and he wants to use the extra 10gb being used by the Xp ?

yes you got the point

oh and thanks alot everyone I finally found out how to do it. I got a great program called Unlock Me you just install it right click on the folder choose unlocker and then delete, it unlocks all the files and deletes them all. Though it took about 6 hours and I had to empty the recycle bin ever 10 minutes, cause it got too full and windows would hang. I was awake till 6.15 in the morning but doesn't matter cause now I have 10gb of free space and now I have space to install rainbow six vegas 2 and play it over hamachi!

by the way I tried changing the ownership setting but it still didn't work
