OK guys,

My work laptop has a HUGE "CSC" directory in my Windows folder (XP) that os taking up something like 13 GB's of space! It's there as a hidden folder and there appears to be nothing of value in it.

My laptop did once have an "offline" folder set-up where it would copy files from my network drive to my PC, but now I have disabled it since it was taking up too much space.

What is this CSC directory associated with? Is it crucial to Windows XP?

I'd sure as heck like to delete it...I'm thinking it was associated with being able to view my network drive material when I was offline.

Any ideas?

It's a file sync folder. google on - CSC folder (or directory) - and you'll get lots of hits. You do know about google, right?

Thanks guys, it WAS the cache for the previously available offline files.

I deleted it and magically gained back 13 GB's of disk space...sounds good to me.
