Removing "Access Denied" files

[Bob H]

Due to a couple of failed installations on one of my
drives, I have the remnants of the installation of WinXP
that I have been unable to remove. They definitely are
not being used by Windows as it is on a different drive.
Any suggestions on how to remove these files?
