I'm sorry that I don't know what files would be causing your problem.
You might want to talk to your service provider to see if they can offer
some assistance with that.

I can tell you how to format the drive, though. It actually writes ones
to the drive (not zeros), but either way, at the A: prompt, type "format
c: /u", without the quotes, of course. This will be sufficient for
getting rid of everything.

If possible, maybe someone can tell me what these files are and how I can remove them if they are ever saved to my computer again so I will not have to format each time.
