I recently installed an SSD into my computer and put a fresh install of Win 7 on it. I was going through the folders of my old HDD to try and free up some space, but it wouldn't let me delete the Windows folder. I even tried claiming ownership of it as per this webpage, but it still couldn't be deleted.

You might have a hidden system file in that directory or in a sub-directory.

Try this command from a command prompt:

CD X:\Windows
ATTRIB -R -A -S -H *.* /S /D
CD ..
RD Windows

Where X: is the drive letter for the SSD drive.
