"SFB - KB3MM" wrote in message ... Yes I know nut one of the earlier posters did not and suggested deleting the swap file as a way to flush cached data to the disk. You are correct. I thought the OP meant his swap file because many people refer to Virtual Memory improperly as vcache and they see that their winswp.386 file is really large and they want to save disk space. Or, they get the running low on memory warnings etc (resources really) and want to know how to 'flush' or empty it. My error was in assuming the OP was mistaken in his reference, when in fact, it was I that was mistaken. |
