Easiest option is to just rename it to basically anything, and then reboot to see if you get any complaints. No complaints = safe to delete.-Stoic Joker (March 04, 2012, 02:38 PM)

well, I must admit, you said "easiest" not "safest".

I renamed it, and rebooted, and now it is gone!!!   :(

Why am I not happy? Because it is gone, but still taking up 341GB!!!!!!

KynloStephen66515:
Boot into a Live version of any Linux build, locate the folder, eradicate the folder, reboot into winblows windows?

Worth a shot if nothing else :)

Tuxman:
How can you know how big it is when it is gone?

Curt:
Okay,one more reboot and it became visible. And shift+deleted. Now I will reboot again, and everything will be okay. Okay?
