Can you just save all the files you need and just format it....Thats the best way I think.

true even if you delete the previous versions there will still be a lot of used space that can be cleared up a save a and format is the best way to do it a fresh install of win 7 ultimate should only take about 12-13gb of space

You should be able to delete the previous version files.  However, it's best to do a format before installing a new OS.
