    How to clean "empty" files & folders?


    Hi to everyone.
    I don't know where can i writte for this problem but i believe this is the first way.
    I have this problem:
    Look into pic.


    Can someone tell me how it happened or from what cause? I have Antivirus Norton360. This happened in a moment when I write on Facebook, for a moment to appear on the screen and saw a key as well have shut noticed the "x " close.
    for 3 seconds was switchoff my computer.
    start again when I noticed that the CPU was working 100% to nearly 7-8minuta. and antivirus Ones appeared more than always displayed.
    Could this be from any virus?
    Thanks to everyone for your help.



    Thnxx to all.

    If you don't use Hibernate, you can disable it. This will get rid of a very large hiberfil, ~2GB, file.
    Hibernate - Enable or Disable

    Those other files are need by windows to run properly. don't "clean" them.
