[File is Resident in the MFT]

Thanks to Andavari and Augeas for your replies.

[File is Resident in the MFT]

Hello,

 

I'm looking to do some Spring cleaning on my PC. I was wondering what, in laymen terms if possible, "file is resident in the MFT" means?

 

I was just looking to permanently delete two files that Recuva found. I do plan on using CCleaner and/or Eraser to erase all the free space on my drive but I just wanted to know what the aforementioned statement meant.

 

Thanks.

[Anyway to manually remove programs?]

I recently uninstalled internet explorer but it's stills showing up under windows in cleaner. Is there anyway I can remove that?
