Default Cannot delete old user profile

I have just completed a new install of windows media centre but have now noticed that my old user profile is still stored in the c drive. The profile does not show in the user profiles section in control panel nor can I access or delete the file as it was previously password protected on the old install.
Is there any way this file can be deleted as it's taking up most of my hard drive.

you need to reformat again but make shure that you delete the partition and make a new one
