Download a bootdisk for your OS from here:
http://www.bootdisk.com
Save the bootdisk executable file to your desktop, then double-click it to create the bootdisk. You'll need one floppy disk; make SURE you don't need any of the data on it, because it will be wiped clean as the bootdisk is created.
Use it to boot the system to a DOS-prompt, and delete anything you don't want to leave on the hard drive.
