ATI folder
Hi,
I've noticed that each time I install a newer version of driver a folder is left on the system as follows:- C:\ATI\support\wxp-w2k-catalyst-8-09-041221m-020455c C:\ATI\support\wxp-w2k-ccc-8-062-040929a-018115c C:\ATI\support\wxp-w2k-ccc-8-071-041026a-018719c-english In addition to the above there are two other folders:- C:\ATI\support\ATI_UTILITIES C:\ATI\support\cat-uninstaller I reckon the cat-uninstaller needs to stay where it is and maybe the ATI_UTILITIES also. However is it safe to delete the three other driver folders? Cheers Rob and in it are -- 5 out of 4 people don't understand fractions |

It is safe to delete the ATI folder and free up space. It's like when
you download a ZIP file, you extract them to another folder you created or the desktop. That's the same thing with these ATI setup files. It extracts itself to the given location. And seeing the path, you left it as default. Anything that is in the ATI folder you can find in the ATI main website www.ati.com So, yes, it is safe to delete the ATI_UTILITES and cat-uninstaller and the ATI folder itself. The ATI_ULITIES and the cat-unistaller can be found here if you don't believe me... http://www.ati.com/support/drivers/m...lystutils.html I myself delete ATI folder and free up about 30MB of space. -- I'm one of the 4. |

You are asked where you would like the files extracted to, the above directories are the defaults. They are only needed for the installation process. |
