A0035472.RDB where?

[Ron Hardin]

I noticed in defragmenting that a lot of time is spent on files like
A0035472.RDB

What is such a file likely to be? A search doesn't turn up the
name.

The machine uses Firefox and IE both, in case it's one of theirs.

System Restore data bases (*.RDB) can be cleaned up, except the last one. Go
to start/run, type:
cleanmgr
You will see the option on the second tab.

Doing the rest of the Cleanup Manager stuff will help a defrag.
I also compact my messages in OE.

Congratulation Mark for the silver.

Adding to Mark good advice, beside it is a System Restore Data Base Point,
it could be a temp or log file for Zone alarm or Orcale application if you
have such a thing.
Since you are performing a Defrag, it means your system is slow or Disk
space is less.
Try to go through these cleaning steps and delete the Old Restore Point,
that older than Two weeks and leave the most recent one.
Here is a guide on System Restore read then apply:

Run Disk cleanUp then try to defrag in Safe Mode, it always recommended to
