You can safely delete these files. The last 4 are index files that are created by the "findfast" program. Whenever you do a "Find" (its a menu item on your Start button), it uses these files to do the search. Every partition has these to index the files on that partition. Recycled is a directory of the files you've deleted on that partition. Probably empty (or nearly so) as well if you haven't ever used the partitions for anything. > > Are there any hidden files that I need to worry about? > Shouldn't be. You can check what hidden files you have with "dir /s /a:h". Kirk
