unknown files

Hi there, I just got a message telling me that my HD is low on space. It suprised the hell out of me, because I should have plenty of room on my Windows partition. So I ran sizemanager and I found a bunch of folders hidden on my D:\ drive that read "FOUND.010, FOUND.011, .012..............etc." (quotes added), and some of them are HUGE, like almost a gig. They contain what seem to be system files of some sort and read as follows; "FILE0000.CHK, FILE0001.CHK, etc" (quotes added). Can anyone tell me what these are, where they come from, how I can stop them, and if they are safe to delete? Any info would be greatly appreciated, thanx in advance.

 

Guess nobody knows?

Great, thanx alot, that explains alot, I went through a spell of bad memory problems where chkdsk was running everytime the memory dumped and restarted my system and that must be where they came from. I have since replaced my memory and my system is running well, so I should be able to get rid of them and free up about 3 Gig of HD space Thanx again Steve

You bet.
