Can you post a screenshot of your System32/config folder? Or at least compare it with my 'normal' one, to see what needs to be removed, i.e the 500kb driver files...

The problem is way beyond me! It seems the files are created in association with Nvidia 3D drivers, this thread explains all, but I think you will have to rely on the M'soft updates to cure the fault...

I download and install update that was recommended. but it did not work and files are there yet
i must delete them bc there was not space any more and i delete them manually (a part of them about 12 GB)
and i am not seeing any problem.
maybe it is solved.
ty a lot dear
