Never mind. I found out some people delete it every day!


I have to defrag my C: partition, which is 20 gigs big.

I have dual boot, and I'm not in win98 right now.

Can't I just delete the swap file and save defrag the trouble of
defragging it, plus make more room for other files, which also might
make defrag work quicker, and then when I use win98 again, won't it
make a new swap file when it starts?

Thanks.




If you have enough RAM
your swap file will probably not even be used, so you are wasting your time.

I'd just let Windows manage it , then forget it
