    I did backup couple times and I have this BACKUP folder in my c drive.
    I tried deleting it but it wont let me. I have full control of the folder but can not delete. I tried booting into safe mode to delete but still wont let me.
    20gig of space by BACKUP

    Use an Ubuntu Live CD and go into your hdd and delete the file through the Ubuntu session.
