kijk eens tussen je temporary internet files
(= websites die gecached zijn of files die je gedownload hebt)

<> Removing Useless Files

Wanna free up some space on your hard drive(s)? What files could
be safe to delete? Here's a short list that covers the major files
that might disappear without disastrous ramifications. Instead of
deleting the files right off the bat, move them into a "Delete"
folder. When you've run your computer without encountering any
problems for a couple of months, it is probably safe to get rid of
everything in that "Delete" folder. To find these files, hit the
"F3" key and type in "*.XYZ" with .XYZ being the listed extension.
Make sure you search your entire computer instead of just one
folder.

CHK - Scandisk backup file; if there are lost clusters found when
you run Scandisk, these files will be created. They will not come
back, but new ones can be created with future Scandisk uses. For
the average user, they're useless. 

GRP - Program Manager Group file; if you never use Program Manager anymore, 
why keep these
around? They will not come back, but a software installer could
create new ones. 

GID - help-related file; when you run a Help
file, it creates a "GID" to make future accesses to that
particular help file a tad quicker. They're a complete waste of
space, and usually the worst disk-hog offenders. You'll have to
delete these on a regular basis, as they are recreated with every
Help file execution. 

FTS - help-related file; when you perform a
search with a Help file, this is created to make all future
searches be performed quicker. Eh, not worth having around unless
you use HLPs on a daily basis. They'll reappear if you do a search
in a HLP file, so these should be regularly scanned for and
deleted.

CNT - another help-related file; ever notice those tables of
contents when you launch certain Help files? If you don't need a
table to help you navigate through a Help file, delete these. They
will not come back. 

AVI / WMV - movie files; if you know how to
use Windows, don't keep these things around. Make sure you "watch"
them before deleting them, because you might delete a movie you
wanted to keep. Still, they could be lurking on your hard
drive(s). 

TMP - temporary file; when you exit out of Windows
without shutting down everything, these files could be littering
your hard drive (typically, they can be found in the Windows \
Temp folder). Many programs create temp files to help speed up
processes; they're a necessary evil. You might find hundreds of
these just waiting to be deleted. 

~MP is a variation on the theme.

BAK - backup file; when a new version of a file is written to the
disk, sometimes the program will rename the original version with
this extension. Be careful when removing these files. 

OLD is a variation on the theme.
