WinXP SP2
NTFS file format
160GB HD drive
Laptop

I've noticed that there are some old files in the C:\Recycler directory.
One is 3GB+ dated 10/04/2007. Is there any harm in deleting these? THere
are a couple of others dated 2006 and 2004 that I've deleted. All three (3)
of these files are now in the Recycle Bin whereas before there was nothing in
the recycle bin.
Comments?
TIA,

CCleaner is a good program to use to clean up your drive.
