Question

Actually,I don't know what is1386(the file in driveC in my computer)

Answer 1

What would happen....??? MAJOR HEADACHES!!

It's a very important folder and I wouldn't touch it if I were you.

It's involved with all sorts of things from Service Pack 1, to hardware, etc., etc., etc.

Here's the Microsoft web page on it. Take a look at it and determine for yourself if you want to mess with 'i386".

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Personally, I wouldn't have a problem deleting it...but that's because I tend to remove Windows entirely from my computer and install Linux. :)

As far as what it is (note: it's I386, not 1386; the letter i rather than the number 1 at the front), here are some good online explanations:

Answer 3

DON'T DELETE IT! 1386 contains many important files for Windows to function. Don't delete it.

Answer 4

Delete it and the next question here will be sent here by snail mail and you that ask "Why did I delete i386. My computer went dead." Leave it along
