need help deleting files under NTFS

A failed Windows 7 RC install left behind multiple GBs of crap on my HDD that can't be deleted. How do I get rid of this $#!t?

Thanks for the tips, you guys rock. I tried to take ownership of the files while logged in as admin under win2k (my main OS) but it came back with an "access denied." Same thing with the cacl command. I booted Ubuntu and deleted the stuff and it was moved to a trash directory. So I deleted the trash directory and now most of it is gone, there were about a dozen files that still refused to budge. I haven't tried unlocker yet.
