Hi
I did a search for large files and found the following:
• MEMORY.DMP: 523856 KB DMP file
• Driver.cab : 74902 KB Zip Genius cab file

The “driver.cab” file also shows in my Zip Genius utility; what are these
files and can I safely delete them? Thanks
PS would all compressed files on the HD appear in the Zip utility?

Greetings,

No, dont' delete any of these two files. Driver.cab keeps all device drivers
and Memory.DMP keeps a log of your memory dumps.

Driver.cab information -

Thanks,

Hi,

> • MEMORY.DMP: 523856 KB DMP file

You can safely delete this one unless you want to analyze it for a crash
dump. A new one will be created (depending on settings) if the system
crashes again.

> • Driver.cab : 74902 KB Zip Genius cab file

Keep this one, it holds needed system drivers.
