C:\WINDOWS\Driver Cache\i386 Folder

[Vince]

Is this safe to delete? It's such a huge folder and I want to free up space. I've read that it's not an important folder and you can do without it...


Thanks

Mine only takes up 114 MB. What's yours take up? That's not huge or worth it IMO.

I would'nt do it. Dont know why but I feel anything WINDOWS related has some type of importance even if its really insignificant.

Yeah, I save DVD's that I own onto my Hard Drive, and they take up about 800 MB. To me, it doesn't add much. So, it wouldn't be deleting much, either. I'd say just hold onto it. I'll check how much mine takes up, but seeing that it is Windows, like Graphik said, it's mostly irrelevant to get rid of.

It's the drivers cache folder for Windows.

In other words, if you were to add something to your PC (video card, USB device etc...) windows won't be able to install it with the drivers that are already on the system. You'd need to download new drivers for every additional device you attach to your PC.

What Joeboo is trying to say is that you should not delete it.

what he said...i'm pretty sure it'd be really annoying to delete this, and it's only 80 mb's. If you have a desktop just pick up a hard drive cheap, storage is really inexpensive nowadays. On a laptop maybe consider an external USB drive, you wouldn't have it everywhere with you, but at home it'd be fine.

These days anything less than about 250-500MB is not too big.

If you're running out of hard drive space you can add an internal or external HD pretty cheaply.

Seriously, if you're having "hard drive space issues" nowadays you're a super dork.
