    Desktop.ini External HDD


    What exactly is this file? I'm deleting some old backups to free up around 3TB on one of my externals but i got the message saying desktop ini is a system file if you remove it some program may no longer work correctly are you sure you want to delete it? Its also backdated to 2016 so its not likely one of my newer pcs but i aim a bit concerned now

    Yeah ended up asking some friends they ended up saying the same so i just deleted it along with the folders as i had already copied them somewhere else before deleting them so it shouldnt matter. Thank you :)
