Barbara, Delete, delete, delete! These are only file fragments and I have successfully reconstituted files but most are fluff. You won't miss them. After you run scandisk, do a defrag. 24 Meg? Pls do this more often. Take care, Les Barbara wrote: > > When I run scandisk it makes several files and puts them on my hard disk.

I desperately need the space this file is taking up. Is it safe to delete it? I tried to open it and only got little boxes. Can't see how it could be doing me any good if I can't open it to tell what it is. It think it is supposed to be some kind of report of what it fixed???? > > Thanks for any advice, > > Barbara Allen > > PCSOFT's List Owner's: > Bob Wright<[log in to unmask]> > Drew Dunn<[log in to unmask]> PCSOFT only works if you contribute.
