why has my m/c got 4,500 at five megs each?

I went in and randomly deleted fifty - anything to free up space on this HP Vectra - 20gig.

Advice pse.

what extension do you have on the files? .exe, .msi (I think that's it...?

Could be updates, but even that wouldn't mean that many.

One thing to check; see if the extension is used by any other program.

For example: a .mat file can be a Microsoft Access file, or
it can be a material file in a program called Bryce. Both end in .mat.

Just make sure you're not erasing something you need later. However, it does amaze me how many files wind up on a system; I have over 100.000...

Thats interesting, I will try to see what they are. Thankyou so far......
