I installed IIS on my WinXP Pro SP1 just to play around using Interdev and Frontpage. Then I decided to uninstall it.

After uninstalling a folder remained: C:\Inetpub\ which has 3 subfolders: AdminScripts, Mailroot and WWWroot.

I wanted to ask if any of you happen to know if it is safe to delete this entire branch, and what does it store.

Thanks Gustavo.- :confused:

Yes it's safe to remove if you've uninstalled IIS. The branch is the root of all files served by IIS (WWWroot) and the SMTP service (mailroot) (unless you specifically override this). The adminscripts dir is just that, admin scripts for managing IIS
