I recently installed windows on my computer and i thought that it would
overwirte everything but it did not.I already erased the previous OS but I
had a file on my old operating system that had alot of movies and music on
there that took up half the space on my hard disk. So when I go into my local
disk I still see THAT file but when I try to click on it and open it the file
says access is denied. Evidently all that stuff is still in that file cause
half the space is still gone off my hard drive. So could someone please tell
me how to get into that file and erase all that stuff?!!

Thank You.
