Clear your system restore points if they are the cause for this. usually ME and 98 have these issues.

hidden files could be the os required system files. not safe to delete them.
use the winxp disk cleaner utility to clear sysrestore ponts, etc
and cccleaner www.ccleaner.com to clear disk space.

Click Start -> All Programs -> Acssessories -> System Tools -> Dics Cleanup

Run it for "C" drive, check all the option and then then click OK. You can also go to "More Option" to free more disc space by removing all but the most recent restore point.

Enjoy
