Hi, my laptop came partitioned with C(30GB)and D(190GB) and the C: has been sitting at 88-90% full for a long time.

I've tried several things, restarting, deleting in safe mode, deleting via cmd (as administrator), deleting as another user and lots more. And unfortunately Unlocker doesn't support Vista 64. Last time it happened I successfully deleted it in the...
