Zero byte files and folders
I recently ran a progran called "Ace Utilities". It found thousands of zero byte files and folders. How safe is it to delete these files and folders. I ran into a probelm a couple of years ago with "Norton Cleansweep". I deleted some zero byte files and created a whole lot of trouble for myself. How do you know which zero byte files and folders you can SAFELY get rid of?

It depends on which folder(s) these zero byte files are in and which version of Windows you are running. Some 0 byte folders are put there by Windows update and probably cannot be deleted. Post the names of the folders and the names of the folders containing zero byte files and your version of Windows and we can make suggestions.
