WINEBDO.400 Folder Question

[Zo]

I now have 150 of the question folder starting with .400 thru .403 and
then they began over with BDO1.400 etc. Some are empty but the ones
that have files in them are exactly the same. Which of these folders
are safe to delete and why are they being created? tia

AFAIK the folder WINEBDO.400/EBD is created when you create a bootable
floppy from within windows. This *should* be deleted when the floppy is
ready. Did you (try to) create a floppy much times?
(BTW WINEBD stands for Windows Emergency Boot Disk)

It should be safe to delete them all.

Thanks for the reply. These files have been accumulating for quite
some time and I just noticed them while trying to free up some space on
my drive. After some further research through Google, I discovered
that the original folder for this is located in the C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND
folder. Again thanks for the reply.
