Random Named Folders on C:/ Drive

Wow what happened to the forum - makeover?

Hi,

I have a number of randomly named folders appearing on my C:/ drive. I think they're backup folders of some sort - I was just wndering what they are.

Thanks in advance

They are usually temp folders used during installations, or possibly some other reasons, personally I delete them, and leave them in the bin for a while, if all runs without issue I then empty the bin, if the folders are empty I delete without worry, I figure if there is a program that needs such folders, it will create them again, haven't had a problem after years of treating them this way, but others may know better, but I figure if they are in the bin, and something wont work right, then they can be restored easy enough, hope this helps a bit anyway.

That's brilliant, thank you 8210guy, that's all of the validation I required. I hoped to stop them from being created.

Thanks again
