encryption problem

[Brad Jones]

Recently I made a folder private in windows xp home
edition, last night I backed up my hard drive and
reformatted, this morning I restored my data from the back
up, the folder I made private is now unaccessible but is
indeed present and not corrupted. I can't even delete it
from my hard drive even tho I am using the administrator
account. I am most concerned with just being able to
delete it from my hard drive since its taking up nearly
half of my hard drive space, I am not so concerned with
saving it. The error that I am receiving it "access
denied". Does anyone have any suggestions?
