datastore.edb

[RH]

Got a WinXP Pro workstation; member of a domain; not
using SUS. In C:\windows\software distribution\datastore
there is a 2.056 GB file called datastore.edb. What is
this for? can it be deleted. It is eating the hard
drive alive! TIA. Ron

Are you sure it's GB, and not KB? Mine is 2056 KB. I believe it holds
the list of installs from windows update.

exactly right...2056KB=2.056 GB

Well, not *exactly*. Actually 2056 KB = 2.0078125 MB or
0.00196075439453125 GB. ;-)

Out of memory with 2MB of Ram and 120 GB of Rom

My Datastore.edb file is eating up 67,592 Kb (about 68 MB!) and is slowing down my machine. Also the 290 MB of Uninstall files in windows isnt helping either--and by the way, how many i386 folders (in Service PacksFiles) are you supposed to have? I have one with 471 MB! and one with just 2.84 MB (its in a subfolder called ServicePackFiles / Cache). What is normal? and what is the point of these files? Dose someone know? There are other bizarre files with tons of memory in them too. I ran a My Faster PC program to eliminate files and make my machine go faster, didnt get much change and those files are sitll there.
