    Deleting unused folders from Program Files
    « on: April 28, 2008, 09:30:43 PM »
    I was just browsing through the various Program Files on my C disc and found some that seemed useless.  Like AOL9 and Big Fix.  I went to my add/remove programs on my control panel and saw that there were no programs currently installed with those names.  Can I delete these folders from my Program Files without causing harm?

    Thanks,

    Most likely, yes.

      You're welcome :)
      If you want to be extra cautious, don't empty Recycle Bin for couple of days to see, if computer doesn't complain about deleted folders.
