What is w7P_Backups and Program data??

[th3t1111]

So I was looking in my (C: ) Drive and found 2 folders that I hadn't seen before, they are w7P_Backups and ProgramData (I have seen ProgramData before but not in my main drive like that). They aren't like full opacity, just visible. I pretty sure that w7p backups is a backup folder for windows 7 (It's empty), I have windows 8.1, sooo idk, can i delete it?. And program data why is that there, I know I shouldn't delete that one.

Hi
You have apparently turned on the option that allows you to see hidden folders, hence the folders appearing visible but not fully opaque.
ProgramData is a system folder and the name is self explanatory. A lot of settings for your different programs are stored there, so best to leave it alone.
The other folder does not look like any backup folder I know. If you are sure it is empty and has not been used for a while, then it should be safe to remove.

Thanks man!! Forgot I turned that on.... Lul. I've deleted the other folder and seems to be going well. Thanks again.
