If you haven't deleted the files yet, my recommendation (probably best
in DOS only mode):

attrib -r -s -h c:\*.* /s

That should make all files movable by defrag.  If you really want to
know which files it was that had the system attribute that defrag
refuses
to move, just drop the '-r -s -h' to get a listing of the attributes of
all
the files on your hard disk.
