Solved Can't delete corrupted account

I think I've found why my hdd inexplicably has 20gb less hd space available than it should... it's in the AppData folder of my older user profile that corrupted and has since been replaced. And now I can't the profile folder or the AppData within it, and i really do need that 20gb as i'm on my last .7, and certain programs have decided they don't want to work under such paltry conditions.

It stopped showing up in the UA window in the control panel when in corrupted, but it's still there in c:/windows/users, so I can't remove it the 'right' way.

i've tried unchecking the read-only box, but progress stopped about halfway through. (An error occoured applying attributes to the file: xxxx. Access is denied. Ignore?)

Also, is it normal for AppData to be ~20gb on a non-corrupted profile?

I'm running Vista 32 home basic

Thanks alot to anyone that can help!

See if you can take control of the directory, reboot into safe mode, and delete.
