    You expect from me to answer to my question ?
    If you know if it's safe or not to delete this file, answer ( if you want ) but if you don't know, do not answer, do not ask why / when / who / what

    And why should I not do those things? It is stated in the rules I must only answer your initial question with no question of my own?

    Well we would like to know why you want to delete this file that only takes up 824 bytes.

    But hey why not just DELETE the whole System32 folder. That way you won't have all those extra files on you PC.

    No, we expect to understand your reasoning on asking the question that you asked, since it is a very odd question.
