ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA WHY DIRECTX FOLDERS WOULD BE PLACED HERE. I'M NOT SURE IF MICROSOFT OR THE COMPILE PROCESS MAY HAVE DONE IT, BUT I WOUND UP WITH THE SAMPLES, LIB, UTILITIES, REDIST AND MAYBE ONE OR TWO MORE. WHEN I WAS RUNNING JUNK FILE CLEANER, I BECAME A LITTLE EXCITED UPON SEEING THEM IN THE LIST.
ANY THOUGHTS?

THANKS

Hi,

These could be temp files. Go ahead and delete it.

They are temporary files Hari.

This a hidden temp folder.

They may be re-created(empty) when you re-start..

That is right Jazz, the temporary folder if deleted will be recreated, but only the contents within needed to be deleted.

Some more to look at: - Most of these will be integrated I to AU.

A few directories you will probably want to wipe out (you might need to change the variables):

%USERPROFILE%\Cookies

%USERPROFILE%\History

%USERPROFILE%\Recent

%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\History

%USERPROFILE%\UserData

%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Office\Recent

%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows NT\NTBackup\data

%SystemDrive%\recycled

%SystemDrive%\RECYCLER

%windir%\temp

%temp%
