I have just reinstalled windows on an HP laptop since it was riddled
with viruses etc that we couldn't get rid of. I backedup all the
documents etc etc and used the original cd to continue. Everything went
ok but now there is only 3GB left on the hard drive (out of a 40GB
capacity). I was puzzled but found out that all the old documents etc
are still on the computer under C:\Documents and Settings\hp. However,
when i try to go into this folder to delete them i get the error
message "Access denied".
What do i have to do in order to free up the space on my computer
again? I don't really want to restore windows again since it took hours
and hours with it being a slow machine - i thought the process wiped the
hard drive anyway :S.
Someone please help, i need this computer back!
