Are you talking about the folder c:\Windows\Repair? If so then you can

delete anything in there if you wish. All files in this folder are registry

backup files and are only used in case you have a corrupted registry.

However, the older these files are, the less useful they are. I consider a

registry backup file largely useless if it is more than two years old.

Now if I delete them how does a newer backup for a corrupt registry get

created?

Only if you create it yourself. However, there is little point in doing

this - the System Restore function will create its own registry backups and

a lot of other things too.
