Hello, I am a long time user of DrivePool and love it. One thing that has always puzzled me is the "other data" that is not duplicated. So in an effort to track down what that might be, I found the hidden folder .Trash-501. Now this folder is much larger than what DrivePool states is "other data", but I am wondering if anyone knows if I am safe to delete the files within this Trash-501 folder? My Recycle Bin is empty in Windows Explorer and some of the files within the Trash-501 folder are pretty old and some are pretty recent.
Ultimately, I am not a full blown "windows guy" and only use it for my DrivePool setup so didn't want to break something DrivePool or Windows has going on in the background. But some of the Trash-501 folders are pretty large so if I can delete the files within, I should regain some space.
Thanks for the clarification on the Trash-501 folders in the PoolPart folders.
