.bin files?

[LMO]

Hi all. I recently installed Norton Systemworks 2006, and it put these huge
files on one of my drives, in the Recycler/NProtect directory. They are
numbered and end in .bin (like 00000050.bin). Do I need these? Can I delete
them?
Thanks!

NEVER use the norton protected recycle bin option.

NEVER use the norton protected recycle bin option.

That's like being in a prison camp with you as commandant just ordering
people to do things.

Can you give reasoning for things like this so it can be understood why? Are
there reasons for this advice?

This installation does not give an option to install NP bins. They don't
even show up with a right click.

Yes. Nortons protected recycle bin is NOT a recommended util.
