I can't delete this shit because it's telling me access is denied, and it's taking up 10 gigs.
Any tips?

First off
What is in them?
Inside windows folder....don't delete shit buddy.
Access is denied for a reason.

This, But I'm still wondering what it's doing in the Windows Dir?
Also if you have a space issue, check and see what you have downloaded/installed/ Laying around like a lazy bum.
You may also want to run Defraggler, Fragmentation can take up space aswell.

So you assume someone just took the contents of C:\, zipped it up, and uploaded it for others to download?

Of course they did. This is also how linux works. You download the source code, tell your bios to run main.c and you have linux

Then it would be an advisable idea to run a complete whole computer scan using your Anti Virus.
See the proctologist.
Download Unlocker and unlock+delete the folder [b]only if you're sure it isn't vital to your system.[/b]

unlocker probably wont work because it might be permissions that are locking the files down.
try deleting it in safe mode or from a Live CD/USB.
Forgive me if I'm abit late on thinking about this
This idea came to me while I was on the way to the my shower

You should be able to do this with your folder and use it to take control. It's under properties. I wouldn't imagine it being important since it is in your download folder so delete away.
I'm sorry I didn't think of this earlier.
The Live CD/USB option would be the only thing left to do if this doesn't work.
that probably wont work. you would have to change permissions for each individual file.

In Windows, you have the option to change permissions for just that folder or everything in it including the folder itself.
Guys, my computer fails miserably at folder permissions.
FINAL VERDICT: Reburn
