Holy crap! I was trying to free up some space before a much needed defrag on my laptop drive, so I wanted to weed out the big files. So I do a search and I find a 778,240KB file called 'rpm.cf1' in my 'Application Data' folder under 'Google Desktop Search'.
WTF!!??! 770 megabytes for a bloody index file? Damn!!!! What's worse...its in my local data folder, so if I had other users on this machine (thank God its just my personal laptop) then each user would have its own index file (all probably about the same size!)
So how big is your index file? This is only a 60gb drive so I'm sure others' indices are much bigger.
edit: wow...just noticed there is ANOTHER index file called 'fii.cf1' that's 120mb!! WTF?!? Do you think MSN Desktop's index is even bloatier?
