I never saw a big file like this on other XP systems (at least I can't remember I did). It's called 'Dateien' which means 'FIles' on German.<BR />Does anyone here have an idea what this file is about?<BR />Thanks in advance<BR /><BR />Ray<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 20 Mar 2005 22:25:10 GMT https://community.sony.si/t5/pcs-accessories/a-big-file-on-the-system-partition/m-p/61616#M112981 brainray 2005-03-20T22:25:10Z Re: A big file on the system partition https://community.sony.si/t5/pcs-accessories/a-big-file-on-the-system-partition/m-p/61617#M112982 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I am not sure about this, but depending on how much space is allocated for system restore at least 2GB could be taken up by a number of restore points. <BR /><BR />If you are confident that your system is stable you could try deleting all but the most recent restore point &amp; see if this reduces the file size.
