    Somehow I manged to add 100's of files with the ~ character in them.


    Somehow I manged to add 100's of files with the ~ character in them. Have deleted all with the ~ in a normal windows C: drive search window...but there are 1000's of files containing the ~ when searchng for system/hidden files ?

    Are there normally any files in System/Hidden files for Win 7 Pro 64 bit that contain the ~ character ?

    My Win 7 Pto 32 bit PC only had a dozen or so ?

    Is it safe to delete system/hidden files containing the ~ character in them ?

    Thanks...TRinAZ

    Are you sure these are not temporary files? Try rebooting.

This probably has nothing to do with Windows 7, but I thought someone on this forum would know. When in a text editor like on this forum or on Microsoft word and when I delete and hold it down it will be really slow. Characters would only delete every half a second no matter what. Anyone...
