Under AppData\Local there are many empty folders with names such as {00BE690D-2A90-4CE4-BD1A-D207D220FB8D}. What is the purpose of these folders and can they be deleted?

davsan, Can you give a spefic path? kind Regards DFTIM me - TWiTTer: @DFTER

A path like C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local? I don't know their purpose, but IMO empty folders don't eat up diskspace. That said, if they're empty, I don't see any reason not to erase them. Cheers Rem

Hi, I’d like to share the following for you about the Appdata: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc766489(WS.10).aspx We can see Windows 7 has a new User Folder which replaces Windows XP’s Documents and Settings. Within the new folder structure, Windows 7 has a folder called plain ‘Documents’, which replaces Windows XP’s ‘My Documents’ folder. The most important new subfolder is AppData. Also to maintain backward compatibility, Windows 7 has shortcut links to the old Windows XP folders such as Local Settings and Application Data. Though I don’t recommend to do that with no experience in the case. Because, such action may cause applications can't work Properly . But if you mean the path \AppData\Local\Temp, I recommend that you may use Disk Cleanup to Clean your temporary folder.
