TheOwner Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 So what is wrong? Chrome should delete those files by self? Should i delete them or leave it? But i have still more those files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted March 6, 2019 Moderators Share Posted March 6, 2019 You should NOT delete them if you don't know what they're for. Deleting the wrong files in a Chrome/Chromium browser can cause issues, and we really can't tell you if those files are safe to delete or not, they could be for updates, addons, etc., we wouldn't know. If those files are in your Chrome profile folder you could ZIP that whole profile folder as a known good backup to restore from, then delete those files, and then use Chrome for several hours or days to see if deleting them broke anything. But if those files aren't really taking up any significant amount of hard disk space perhaps just ignore them and play it safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Andavari Posted March 17, 2019 Moderators Share Posted March 17, 2019 Found out by searching through the community Winapp2.ini file add-on that it deletes those files from Chrome/Chromium browsers. So going by that you "should be able to delete those .ldb files without issue." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
