In my Lost.Dir folder I have a BUNCH of folders totaling about 6 megs..........does anyone know if it's safe to delete these?

Google says that it is a directory for the recovery of files from a corrupted filesystem and/or a "Recycle Bin" for deleted files. Take a look inside and delete it all if you don't want to keep anything. The files aren't meant for the continued operation of the operating system.

Thanks! I'll just delete all the subfolders.
