@wilibusi, Welcome to the HP Support Community!  

  

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding a bunch of Windows systems that cannot be deleted! 

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.  

  

It sounds like your issue might relate more specifically to managing files and system settings within Windows. Unfortunately, managing multiple Windows installations or partitions and resolving storage issues are tasks that might require detailed information on your specific setup and possibly assistance from a Windows support team or professional. Here are some general steps that might help clear space and manage your installations:

 

Disk Cleanup: Run the Disk Cleanup utility in Windows to remove unnecessary files. You can access this by clicking Start, typing "Disk Cleanup," and selecting the utility.

 

Uninstall Unnecessary Programs: Use the "Add or Remove Programs" feature in the Control Panel to remove programs you no longer use.

 

Delete Temporary Files: Navigate to the temp folder (C:\Windows\Temp) and delete temporary files. It's also useful to clear browser caches.

 

Delete Duplicate Windows Installations: If you've mistakenly created several installations, it might require more advanced management such as partition deletion or reformatting, which should be approached cautiously to avoid losing important data.

 

External Storage: Consider moving files like photos, videos, and documents to an external drive to free up space.  

 

Hope this helps! 

Take care, and have an amazing day!
