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.

Guest Debbie Graham Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 Re: repair folder question Now if I delete them how does a newer backup for a corrupt registry get created?

Guest Pegasus \(MVP\) Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 Re: repair folder question 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.
