He suggested that there would b a lot of unwanted materail in that folder that could be thrown away. I do clean up my partitons which means my "Temporary Internet files" folder is usually not filled much. Plz suggest how n where to find that garbag that I can del to clean up "Windows" folder in the Root drive?I would be grateful if u guide me in detail in this matter.Regards,Sheikh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infiniti25 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 You might have unwanted service pack installation files, system restore information and other HIDDEN files.Have you been into folder options to unhide operating system files and normal files?
