Re: Large number of files in Messenger and Windows Live

You're welcome.
Good luck that they won't return.

So I deleted all of the files in the "ignore" folders plus the folders
themselves for all 4 users, which took hours, and so far WLM hasn't built new
folders for any of us. I will give it a few weeks to see if everything is
stable, and then delete them from the recycle bin.

WLM seems to be working normally.

Thanks for your help.

Hello,
so new ones are created, but in normal amount?
Try deleting as many of the annoying files as you can.
(If possible, you can restrict access to the folder by right-clicking it ->
Properties -> Security -> Delete all users from the list, even System, and
see if it works. I haven't tried this yet.)
