Can I Delete the PerfLogs Folder?

My folder is empty, so I`m leavin it. For now.

@questionmark rd /S /Q probably does the same. A more unix style command like rm can probably be found in gnu/win32 related sites or cygwin.

Code:

C:\>rm -rfv

Hi Gew, how did you get the rm command in windows 7 ? I don't have it (I got Win7 x64 Ultimate). Do you use cygwin or something? Btw sorry to post in such an old thread, but I can't find any info about this.. Thanks Qm

"This folder is used by the system Performance Logs (Diagnostics).
It can be removed, but will be recreated by the system, when it is needed."

Quite an old post but this forum was my first result on google and the following was the above link, thought I would post it here just to verify for people that it will recreate the folder if it is needed in future.

I am pretty sure most programs, if saving a file will create the directory if it does not already exist.

Ok so the PerfLog Folder refers to Performance Logs and is a system generated folder.

It is not advisable to delete this folder, but doing so won't make any difference as your PC will just recreate the folder again anyways. It takes up little disk space, so it's probably not worth moving to another partition unless you're super desperate.

This folder will only present itself if you set the option to view Hidden items (files/folders). In other words, if it bothers you that much, just go to File Explorer | C:\ | Cick the View Tab | Untick Hidden items

Hope that helps!

Thank you for info.
