4 huge archives in C:\Windows directory

[Guest SantistaS]

Hi,

 

My XP C:\Windows directory has 4 huge archives named E, O, S, and Y, without

any extensions.

Each of them is 1,6 Gb big.

I tried to move them to another drive, but the system doesn't allow.

What are they for?

Can I safely delete them? How to do it?

 

Thanks,

 

SantistaS

The 0, E, S and Y files are hidden.

 

I tried to apply the "attrib -h" DOS command to them, but I receive the

message

 

 

 

C:\WINDOWS>attrib -h 0.

 

Not resetting system file - C:\WINDOWS\0
