Unable to remove user folder

I am the only user on this laptop - there is the Administror logon and
my user account (ARH). I also have a third user folder on here - from a
user profile that became corrupted which is called Andy. The user
account has been removed but the folder has not so is not associated
with a user logon.

I have given the administrator logon full permissions on Andy. When I
check, the Admin has full control, yet cannot remove the folder. When I
try to remove the read-only option, I get the UAC box but am then denied
permission.

I cannot see anything inside any of the subfolders or make any changes
to the contents.

I am starting to run out of space and need to remove it - please
advise.

You need to take ownership of the folder. As you already have Administrator
rights, there should be no problem in taking ownership. See here for the
process:

Boot up with BartPE and Delete those files.
