Guest SantistaS Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 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
Guest SantistaS Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 Re: 4 huge archives in C:\Windows directory 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
