So I just reinstalled windows and did a clean install. When I logged on none of my desktop programs were there but everything was still on my hard drive. How can I delete these files? Also, for some reason it's not detecting my graphics card but it did detect my cpu. How can I fix this? Thanks!

Well, it seems like you didn't format the drive before installing Windows.

And it's not detecting the GPU because you probably haven't installed the proper drivers.

There's an option for formatting drives during installation - it's at the screen where you choose what drive to install W7.

When I go to format my drive, the format button is not clickable, and when I open the format program it just immediately closes ?!
