I don't have much experience in this so I may be saying something dumb but will you have access in Windows to the files in the tar? I only ask because I once copied my home directory onto a NTFS external drive to back it up and when I didn't need it anymore I tried to delete it but was unable to delete a bunch of it. I finally had to use another Linux install to get rid of it.
