Safe to delete this folder?

Post by PrestonK »

Hello all,
Can I safely delete this entire folder? Or only some files? The "Everywhere" search includes just that, everything I've done --- and for the sake of privacy i'd like to delete this.

I don't think it'll hurt to clear this folder (I'm not sure you can delete the Searches folder itself). The subfolders will no doubt be recreated sooner rather than later.
Best wishes,
Hans

If you have the search program "Everything" installed then this is the indexed datafile it makes and uses?

Hans - Thank you.

Dave - I don't have a program installed by that name - it's one of the subfolders wich has the most junk in it.
