The reason is simple : when you delete c:\windows,
you have a lot of fragmented space; if you defrag,
free space will be unfragmented but not in the disk's
most effective place - the closest to the FAT, etc.
  When you do format c:, you have all of the HD free
and can do reinstall in the best way, filling the
effective place with os and moving your data in last.
