Jgonick Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 WinXP puts a Thumb.db file in folders to cache the tumbnails of images in that folder. Can they be safely deleted? and Does CCleaner delete them? If not would it be able to in the future? (if it is safe for them to be deleted) Thanks for the info.

Moderators Andavari Posted July 31, 2005 Moderators Share Posted July 31, 2005 They can be safely deleted. You can also disable their creation via an open Explorer window by clicking: Tools->Folder Options->View->Do not cache thumbnails Edit: All thumbs.db files can be removed using EasyCleaner so long as you input thumbs.db into the Unnecessary files Find area.
