Member Posts: 7 | Is it safe to move or delete cabinet files? I would appreciate any help that anyone can give me as to whether I can either delete, or move the large number of cabinet files which the DirectX Installer downloaded into my personal Downloads folder. When I downloaded the software from the Microsoft website it asked me to chose a destination point for the download, without suggesting a location (as is normal). Not having much IT knowledge I selected my personal download folder. I understand that a cabinet file is a single file created to hold a number of compressed files, and that during installation of a program, the compressed files in a cabinet are decompressed and copied to an appropriate directory for the user. I have also read different opinions as to whether it is safe to delete the cabinet files once the installation of the software is complete. If I cannot delete them I would at least like to remove them to a different place on my pc's hard drive as I don't want them clogging up my personal downloads folder. I have uninstalled the application (Media Player Classic) which was the reason I downloaded DirectX in the first place. Is it safe now to delete the cabinet files, or is there a danger I could cause damage to my system? I have enough space on my hard drive to accomodate the cabinet files on my pc, but I am unsure of the proper place to store them. Is it safe to move them to another destination on my hard disc and how do I go about doing this? |
