Take a look at the profile in Explorer and use something like Tree View 
to show which folders contain the most data.

any files on the desktop? Temp Internet Files etc.

Take a copy of the profile in Explorer before deleting it via System 
Properties so anything needed is kept. You can then always copy across 
to the new profile.
