Hi All-I'm new to the Forum.I installed and ran CCleaner recently.Found a lot of BAK files in my Recycle Bin,origin Outlook Express.
Is this a result of running CCleaner?
Is it safe to empty these from the Bin?

Don't know, but BAK files are backup files. Usually you don't need them.

That shouldn't really matter if you have the Empty Recycle Bin option checked, they will get deleted totally. Bak files aren't that important.

Thanks CeeCee and Keithuk.
