I am running Windows 8 on a seperate partition right now, and want to delete everything on my old partition that contains Windows 7, except for the Windows 7 OS (just in case). How can I do this?

Uninstall all the items using Revo Uninstaller.
After doing that, create a new user account and delete the rest in the

C:\Users folder
Run CCleaner
Finalize a service pack of Win 7.

I would just delete everything and reinstall the Windows 7 partition (don't install anything yet), defrag, then select the partition size. On my box, I have like 200g of free space in my Windows partition because I installed programs before I partitioned the drive, and there were some unmovable files. To prevent this error in the future, I am always going to reformat the entire drive, and leave a few partitions free for changes in the future.
