That's the Recycle Bin. Deleting those files will remove them from the recycle bin.

Yep.
The doctor has it. You should empty your recycle bin.

Right click on the bin choose Properties and see what percentage of your hard drive space is reserved for it.
I'm betting that's what the 1.7 gigs is about. |

So much for the easy answers.
What files and folders are you talking about? Did you delete a program instead of uninstalling it? Is it something left over from Norton's AV?  If you think it might be System Restore then disable it and reboot the computer. That will remove all restore points (remember to re-enable it) and let you know if you guessed right.
