Alright; this is what my D: drive looks like:

I only use one of those windows, yet I don't know how to delete the other 2 (and they take up a gig a piece, and I need that space :/) Do you know what I should do?

Delete the one you dont use ?



I've just went about deleting everything i dont use, Such as Game Mod installers, Failed downloads/Torrents, ect.

Buy new external or internal HD to get more space

He prolly couldn't afford it.
And I have no idea why you would even HAVE 3 windows folders. 0_o
You could always try this program though, I use it to unlock folders(gets rid of the "this file cannot be deleted cause it is in use" error.) but it can delete things, don't yell at me if removing those folders jacks something up though.

If nothing is "locking" the folder it'll ask you if you want to delete it(or move, ect..), if that doesn't work it'll ask you if you want to delete it next time you restart. I've never needed to use the deleting stuff so use at your own risk.

StormLexer, you know any program which allows me to delete files which are empty but i cant delete them because it says that they arent empty or something...
