Are you talking about the folder c:\Windows\Repair? If so then you can
delete anything in there if you wish. All files in this folder are registry
backup files and are only used in case you have a corrupted registry.
However, the older these files are, the less useful they are. I consider a
registry backup file largely useless if it is more than two years old.

Inside what folder?

Re: repair folder question

Now if I delete them how does a newer backup for a corrupt registry get
created?

Re: repair folder question

Only if you create it yourself. However, there is little point in doing
this - the System Restore function will create its own registry backups and
a lot of other things too.
