So a few months ago I reinstalled Windows 7 on my pc after it was infected with a troublesome virus that none of my antiviruses could pick up.

Everything has been going well and I don't have much on my pc but about a dozen small games that take up about 10 gigs total. I went to download a new MMO and it said I didn't have enough disk space which was odd considering the hd is 500 gigs. So I deleted a few games and downloaded the new one.

It dawned on me that something was wrong so I looked at my disk space and I only had a few gigs open. So I downloaded WinDirStat and it showed a Windows.old file taking up 275 gigs!

I ran diskcleanup but it's not showing that folder in there and I have no idea how to get rid of it! Thats over half my disk space. Please help a brother out! Lol.
