I did have a go lastnight and it said that it was too large for the recycle bin did I want it deleted anyway. Decided to leave until I check it out with "you who know". Getting rid of the folder wont affect the running of anything, will it??????????? Katydid ?:l	Katydid (2188)

One way would be to rename the folder, this way any program looking for something in that folder will not be able to find it and that would tell you that the folder was still in use. if after maybe a couple of months no program you use makes a fuss about not being able to locate this folder you could delete it then. Or contact the people who worked on your computer and ask if they can recall what this folder is for.	duckyduck (197)
