Windows Backup file I can't get rid of

[ElDiabloBeGone]

A while back my PC had this problem where it couldn't connect to the internet no matter what, so i ended up just back up my computer and restarting it (which worked). But now i have this file that takes up 437GB that i can't get rid of. Does anyone know how to get rid of a file like this.

It's not a file, it's a folder that contains the old Windows installation. If you have no further need of it simply delete it.

This comes up every time even when i don't have anything open.

That is not deleteable via normal 'delete' means.

Disk Cleanup - "Remove old versions of Windows" (or similar wording)

Hmm, interesting, I've never had a problem simply deleting that directory.
