Folder with strange name in drive

General Discussion (off topic) Anything and everyt

Main drive is C. I have partitioned the harddisk & the another drive is E. I use E drive for my personal stuffs.

Can windows by any chance can save anything in E drive.

Coz I have a folder in E drive with weird name. I can open few files but cant open few files in the folder. It says you dont have permission. You need to go to security tab. I cannot make out anything about the folder by looking at the files.

The folder name is - d29dbe2b688702ca587e72 & has a lock sign on the folder. size 23.8mb.

Any info or help?

It has one msi installer named - NDP40-KB2572078. Type of file - Windows installer patch (.msp). size 22.1mb

win 7 64 bits

Yes, Windows installations/updates do exactly that, weird numbered folder & largest free space drive is their thing. :slight_smile:

But C drive i.e main drive has more than 125 GB space free. Can I copy it from E to C?

Well OK, not always largest free… sometimes least used or even empty. You can do what you want with it now, Windows is done with it. If you re-ran whatever it was that created it, another would just be created. It was only used for unpacking & executing some installation/update stuff.

So that means I can delete it too, right?

I guess .Net Framework Update created this.
