    is it safe to erase WIP type file?


    Hello, i am confused with "other" folder in my laptop storage, it used 87.8 GB in total, and in that "other" folder, there is 1 folder named C:\Erase52.tmp using 81.8 GB, why it using so much space storage in my laptop?, i want to delete this C:\Erase52.tmp folder, but i am scared it is important, because when i check into that folder, there are files with WIP type in it. The file named are combination of alphabet and number like BA089077.wip or B78F7112.wip with size 1 GB each file. what should i do with it?

    :)

    Finally! An alternative to eraser...

    it looks much cleaner then the eraser so that is a big step up.

    Windows program to secure erase files only

    I tried doing a search and only found optimal ways to fully erase a disc. Since there are a ton of programs I thought it best to just ask for a current recommendation. I would like to erase a few folders only on a W7 machine and do not need a full time paid program.

    Thank you for any suggestions.

    "Erase this disk" option greyed out

    I use DVD+RW's on a daily basis -- writing, erasing, and rewriting. However, recently, the "erase this disk" option in File Explorer is greyed out.

    The first time it happened, having failed to find a solution online, I restored my C: partion, which fixed the problem, but is a bit heavy handed.

    It's happened again today. I can erase the disk using CDBurnerXP, but that's an extra step which I would like to avoid. It affects all disks, so it's not caused by a faulty disk.

    I would appreciate any suggestions for how "erase this disk" could be brought back to life.
