Windows 10: Why is the DTPDB.DB file so big 54.0GB

HI TeamI found recently that my storage is very low finding that Dell SupportAssist was taking up my CPU and memory. After deleting Dell SupportAssist I got my CPU and Memory back noting I also had a duplicate SupportAssist without the Dell, must of changed it's name and Dell OS recovery trying to find the root cause. After uninstalling Dell software I managed to obtain 3 GB in storageUnder the Dell directory I I still have a lot of storage being taken up by DTPDB.DB. Can this file be deleted or reduce the size?Thanks for your support.Sergio

DB files

Hi Diarmid,





A .db file is a database file format for Windows. It stores data information in a series of tables, table files, and field data values. To best address your concern, we need to answer the following questions:

• Which application are you using to open the .db file?
• Are you getting an error message when trying to open the file? If yes, kindly provide us a screenshot.

We will be waiting for your response.

 

Hide db files in File Explorer

Hi Kid6Boy4

On the same dialog in your Screenshot, scroll down a small bit in that list and tick the box marked 'Hide Protected Operating System Filed (recommended)'

Then click Apply and OK and those DB files should be hidden . .

How do I open a DB file? Is it safe?
