Badly bloated Recent Folder, please help!






Windows XP Pro.

In my own folder under 'Documents and Settings" is a folder named 'Recent'
It is full of rubbish, i.e. folders I have never heard of and the size of
the Recent folder shows 244GB which is ridiculous as my drive is only
18gigg! Some of the dates are way in the future and I just can not get rid
of the folders.

Any ideas please!!
