re: Question about 'Using .CAB Files' Sunday, October 1, 2006 at 7:30 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Ms. Eagle (33507 messages posted) That one would be safe to delete, but it's not going to free up much space. Leave anything alone you're unsure of, though. If you have System Restore enabled, have you set a limit on the amount of space it uses? If not, the default size is 12% of your disk space! Set it way down to a minimum. Also, the default amount of space the Recyle bin's set for is outrageous. Set that at 1%, or 2 at most. These directories can be cleared out, but they may not amount to much...
