I turned off system restore for D. Reformatted again. Rebooted. The folder is still there and since there's nothing else on this drive, and My Computer says there's 148MGs of free space on this 149MG drive, it must be taking up about 1GB, right? Oh well, I'm tired of messing with it. Just curious why it's hanging on so hard to this folder when by all rights it should be gone.
