What folder is found.000?

Our computer sometimes in C or D disk or in the root directory of our U disk has a folder named found.000, there are some suffixes named Chk file. Under C:windows There are many strange files that start with FFF, and the size is all 0 bytes. Also some found folders occupy a lot of space, hundreds of m even a few g! what exactly are these, can be deleted? The following figure:

Definition: When the computer shuts down abnormally, the defragment that is generated by the error is checked at startup.

When the computer is turned off abnormally, the defragmentation of the error occurs at startup. Therefore, in each disk, similar to the found.00x file, the more irregular shutdown, the resulting fragmentation of the file will be increased, long-term clean-up work, easy to cause the system disk space waste, therefore, can be cleaned on time.

The found.000 class file is a system-recycled file fragment, a useless file that can be ignored or completely removed.

How to: Click on a tool on a disk--folder option--Check out the hidden protected system files in the folder options and click to display all folders, usually in C disk.

Some of the suffixes in the found.000 folder, named Chk, are "Lost cluster recovery files" that you created after you used Disk Defragmenter to defragment your hard disk. Under C:windows There are many files that start with FFF that are generated by the Mdm.exe (Machine Debug Manager) program. The main job of Mdm.exe is to debug the application software, and some staging files are generated during the debugging process, which are not automatically purged when the operating system shuts down. So these fff the beginning of the strange files and found.000 folder in some suffixes named chk files are not used garbage files, can be arbitrarily deleted without adversely affecting the system.

But as long as there are Mdm.exe in the system, then the strange file that begins with FFF can be produced. You can use the following method to stop the system from running Mdm.exe to completely remove the strange files that start with FFF:

First press the "Ctrl+alt+del" key combination, select "MDM" in the pop-up "Close Programs" window, press the "End Task" button to stop Mdm.exe running in the background, and then rename Mdm.exe (under C:windowssystem directory) to Mdm.bak. Run the Msconfig program to cancel the selection of "Machine Debug Manager" in the startup page. This will not allow Mdm.exe to start, then click the "OK" button, end the Msconfig program, and restart the computer.

In addition, if you use IE 5.X, it is recommended that you disable script invocation (click "Tools →internet option → advanced → disable script invocation"), so that you can avoid the creation of a strange file that starts with FFF.
