normally be deleted from your computer without causing problems.
Category Description
Zero-byte files These files contain no data.
Saved lost clusters Repair programs such as Chkdsk scan your drives for
lost clusters and save them. These backups are
rarely used.
Internet cache All pictures, texts and animations that you view in
Internet Explorer while surfing the Internet are saved
in the cache. If you visit a website again, the texts
and images can be loaded from the cache more
quickly than from the Internet. It is nevertheless
advisable to empty your cache from time to time.
Recycle Bin All files in the Recycle Bin can be safely deleted.
Log files Many programs write log files that can be used to
analyze their actions. This can be helpful for example
when trying to solve problems. Any log files that you
do not plan on analyzing can be deleted.
Backups Many files automatically create backups of your files.
These can be deleted if you do not need them.
