In my C:\ there are a ton of files named FILE#### (with real numbers, of course).chk. Is it safe to delete these files?
Thanks!

If everything is working to your satisfaction and all your data files appear to be OK, then yes. These files are the result of chkdsk or scandisk finding errors when they ran , and rather than trashing the errors , they saved them. Ed Fair

Any advice I give is my best judgement based on my interpretation of the facts you supply. Help increase my knowledge by providing some feedback, good or bad, on any advice I have given.
