Hello,

Under the C:/Users folder I have 3 subfolders, KRK, Public, and Default.

KRK is me; I understand Public; but what is Default and can I delete it ?

Thanks

KRK

No - Default is the template for when you create a new user.

You already said you have plenty of space on your system partition. You may
need it for future use. Leave it be.

so which is it? A folder like the OP said or a template? the OP stated
that Default is a subfolder. Maybe you should stop drinking during the day.

Idiot. It's both. It's a FOLDER that is a TEMPLATE for new User accounts.

It contains all the data necessary to set up a new User account such as
default desktop, menu items etc etc.
