I did that kill off those "Page" (swap) files and a bunch of other stuff,
hibernate files, etc. but there is still something blocking:
Filename $UsnJrfnl:$J in path C:\$Extend\
You said you killed Paging but did not say anything about turning off the Restore Point functionality which is also needed. I am assuming you did that also. I would try to find that file (search from a linux LiveCD if you have to ) to try to learn what it is and decide whether to try deleting it.
that I can't get rid of. See this link:

I searched the 'net and found others have had this problem, but when I try
to switch to Administrator level to purge the system responds saying that
I need to be at Administrator level (I thought I was) and will not allow
me to delete $UsnJrfnl
Oh, how I do despise windblows.
I've tried numerous methods to supposedly get to the Administrator level,
but to no avail.
Thus, I am now trying to find out if it is possible to just do a fresh
install from the "System Reserve" partition as shown at this link:
