if you ask me, I would say yes, cause what you have is a mess, it may not be your problem at all but I would

the reason why I say to put it right on C: drive is so when you run hldsupdatetool, you wont have to type such a long directory

I am not sure what is going on with your stuff, but nobody else has your problem, so I personally would start from scratch
