Well a couple weeks ago I got a 100g external hard drive, woopee. Well it works fine but there are two mysterious folders in it that are named: 4c79b8be22dbb7cb2a9e036b3e and 6631bd8a15fadbcee1618fc226af1d I tried to delete them but I get a error about how I either don't have the permissions, it's in use, or it's read only. None of those are true… I looked in it and both contain different setups for Microsoft SQL 2005. I don't know what that is but I already have it. So if someone could tell me what these folders are and how to delete them (if that's safe) I'd appreciate. Also these folders aren't hidden so I can't make them disappear in any way, and there really annoying…

What is the timestamp of those files?


August 28th, 2008. That's about when I started using it.

Oh, and while they both have installation things for SQL, one of them is specifically called "hotfix".
