system.sav

[Os]

My apologies about my poor knowledge about systems and computers.

I must clean my hard disk. In order to do that I have observed that in
c:/system.sav there are many
files related to software I never used. By example
c:/system.sav/msmoney/money.

Is it safe to delete files contained in that directory ?

I will be very apreciative to receive some help.

Os.

The system.sav folder is specific to Compaq/HP systems. As there are differences in the restore procedure in different models of Compaq/HP systems, it's best advisable to refer the user manual to know if those folders can be deleted. In mosts cases, you should not, unless you're 100% sure that you possess the OEM Restore CD (different from a OEM Recovery CD).

Having said that, please contact the OEM support for more accurate information in this regard.
