Guest Daddio Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 In Documents and Settings folder resides Application Data Folder, it has at least 3 gigs of file space used up, my question is, what affect does it have on the applications listed and can you safely delete any of the folders and their contents. On one of my other computers this Application Data Folder does not exist? Thanks
Guest SingaporeWebDesign Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 Re: Application Data Folder Hello, Do not delete the Application Data folder. But you can delete the individual folders in them if you have removed the corresponding program in your system. For example, if you uninstall Skype, you may still have the Skype folder in your Application Data folder which you can safely delete if you don't need any of the settings/history left behind. -- Singapore Website Design http://www.bootstrike.com/Webdesign/ Singapore Web Hosting http://www.bootstrike.com/WinXP/faq.html Windows XP FAQ "Daddio" <Daddio@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:DD791C6C-796D-4732-A048-76C1FA8AF32C@microsoft.com... > In Documents and Settings folder resides Application Data Folder, it has > at > least 3 gigs of file space used up, my question is, what affect does it > have > on the applications listed and can you safely delete any of the folders > and > their contents.
