Here's some immovable files:

System restore files
   Control panel->system->system restore
     turn it off for now
   USN journals
     fsutil usn queryjournal c:
       write down max size, allocation delta.
     fsutil usn deletejournal /d c:
       Frees the space. Takes a minute or so, actually.
   Sync/checkdisk/reboot/whatever
   Defrag (and pagedfrg if you're on xp)
   Then turn back on system restore and
     fsutil usn createjournal m=maxvalue a=alocdelta c:

See if that gets rid of your bits. Plus disk cleanup, of course.

Also, perhaps you at one time recycled a whooole lot of files, such that 
your subdirectory under the recycle  bin is especially large?

cd c:\$RECYCLE.BIN
dir /a
