What to do with a bloated "Archive" folder??

The Palm software has been busy copying everything I've tried and deleted
on my T|E over the last several weeks into an "Archive" folder on my desktop
computer. I now have well over 14 MB of junk in that folder. Can I just drag
all this to the Recycle Bin, or is it registered with the Palm software with
a need to delete it somewhere within that software?

Either delete it or if you want to have a backup, zip it and burn to a CD. I
do that along with all of the important data from the Palm every once in a
while. CD's are cheap and it doesn't hurt to have multiple backup's of
anything and everything. Stuff occurs, you know.

No problem deleting. If you don't want to save anything out of the
folder (i.e. install again sometime), just do a select all and delete.
I do this on a daily basis.

Excellent. I have plenty of HD space, but it annoys me to see stuff just
sitting around for no reason. If that keeps up, I won't have plenty of HD
space.
