The following file showed up in C:/

with two subfolders: AMD64 and i386.

Any idea what these are? Can they be safely deleted?

Are they causing you a problem? Are you running out of hard drive space?

Since you can only answer a question with a question, I assume then that
you don't know the answer so you're wasting time instead.

I'd expect an MVP to know the answer to those questions and to quickly
advise the OP not to delete them. They are important system file storage
locations which may get used at the odd time something goes wrong in the
operating sysem. In fact there may be more than one i386 folder, don't
know about the other one; sounds like a vendor specific thing.

Nope.. wanted to know why the OP is cruising through folders looking for
something to delete. Most do it to try to save space..

But it's silly to waste time with nothing but another question. It's
fine to leave a caveat or standard practice note, but to do nothing but
ask another question IMO is a waste of your, and the OPs, and any one
wishing to learn from the answers, time. He may well be wondering about
space, or perhaps as I used to do, cruising and trying to learn. I
always appreciated on topic responses, even if they included "but ... "
or warnings or whatever. Nothing but a question though and, well, that
was sort of a reason to take a pass on that person's advice. It's often
like you ask the question simply so you can call the OP, shall we say,
less intelligent than yourself.

I leave well-intended questions WITH the response, not to stand on
their own and further delay a possibly useful response. And if I'm just
curious, I say so too.

Regards,

Twayne

And that is what is known as "Your opinion" and those vary from person to
person. ;-)

Right on!!!

I could not tell you how many times I asked a question just because I
was trying to learn this system when I got it but would be told to
leave this or that alone and not to worry about it.

My opinion was that they could answer the question then tell you why
you should leave it alone or whatever.

Growing up I was always told the only dumd question was the one not
asked also that is the way you learn is by asking question but
sometimes it is really hard to get a straight answer to any question
asked here or in any of the groups.
