If 6, is the SD card configured as an extension of internal storage rather than as a removable device? If so, the system will have put those folders there. If you delete them, at worst the whole thing will stop working and at best, they'll simply re-appear. They're probably using next to no space, and are just place-holders. -- Cheers, Roger ____________ Please reply to Newsgroup. Whilst email address is valid, it is seldom checked.
