Hello,

Can I delete the Public folders, which I never use & will never need. ?

If I delete a folder it seems to regenerate itself ?

Thanks

KK

The Public directory (and its subfolders) is a system folder and cannot be
deleted. All modern operating systems have a Public directory (in XP it is
called "Shared Documents"). It is used to put files that you want to share
with other users on the system.

You may never use it but leave it alone and stop worrying about it.
