I have windows XP, SP3. I had a virus and was loading "stopzilla" AV. While loading that NEW program, I was deleting McAfee AV and my system went into a reboot loop.
I F8, and attempted to go into safe mode. when I went into safemode, the system rebooted and went back to options of safemode, I could not getinto my system.

I did a emergency START up and did a recovery, the recovery point was from inception in 2007. Why it did not read any of my recovery points I had set, I don't know.

I proceeded with the recovery, it copied all data on my HDD, I have a 50 GB HDD.
The entire drive showed up as full, I deleted pictures and general files, which deleted the copy and the original.
Seeing this I stopped deleting my data.
I loaded my new AV, and MS Office programs.

My system is working, and I can get into it, I have LOST my home network, but the wireless system is working.

I am defragmenting the drive CURRENTLY.

How do I get my system back to having available disk space on my HDD?

My current programs are MS office, Stopzilla, a couple of printers and MS streets and trips.
Any ideas?

Thank you
