Question about 'Using .CAB Files' Sunday, October 1, 2006 at 2:26 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by bill (2 messages posted) I have a question about DELETING .CAB Files: Is this generally safe to do? I have a ton of them on my HD and some I recognize (eg "sp2.cab" is obviously a backup of SP2) but many I have no idea what they are for......and given some are tens of MB in size and I'm low on HD space, it's an issue. But I'm leery of deleting anything I'm not sure about, esp when they are in directories like C:\WINDOWS\SYSBACKUP or C:\WINDOWS\DRIVERCACHE. Worst of all is one under C:\WINDOWS\DRIVER CACHE\i386 that's over 74MB in size (!!).
