I'm preparing to move to a new computer running Windows 7 and am evaluating what's on my old computer and needs to be moved. I'll be keeping the old one but downgrading to smaller hard drives that I have laying around, so I want to remove the junk as well as flag what needs to be moved over.
In my WINDOWS: folder, there are nine files that are identified by only a single letter (A, E, F, etc.). They aren't consecutive letters. Each file is roughly 3GB and together they are about a quarter of my total disk usage. Does anyone know what these are?
They are all the same size and were created at the same time, the file type is "system file" I know they aren't page files because that's a single file in the root directory. System restore files seem to be in a hidden directory of their own.
Thanks for whatever assistance you can provide,
Rick
