    What specifically are you attempting to delete (and using what methodology) that you cannot delete (trying to read into what you asked)?

    In the disk clean shot you have posted above click on system files it will then rescan and remove windows.old etc

    This might also help:

    And you can also download this disk cleaner which finds much more than CCleaner. I have used this for years without any issues; however, make sure you run it at default values (no deep clean). I am only suggesting this because it sounds like you are in a real pinch to recover some space: Wise Disk Cleaner - Free Disk Cleanup and Defrag Tool

    It comes in a portable version as well:
    WiseCleaner Downloads - Download Free Registry Cleaner, Download Free Disk Cleaner, Download Wise Care 365
