what are these files???

when using SEARCH to look for MSN files- there are a few thousand
files that come up that i have no idea what they are and whether i can
delete them.
when i click on them ..i get a box that says Windows cannot open
because it doesnt know what program created it.

the files are located here:
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\MSN\db1

when i open that file folder it has almost 15,000 files totaling over
1.60GB

there is also a db folder and a db30

Can anyopne tell me what these are..why they are there...and if it is
something i can delete safely?
thanks
dee

I had these too. Both the db and db30 had over 12GB and was maxing out my
hard drive. I deleted mine. Windows created a new db30 but much smaller 500
MB. If I find out why my was so big I let you know.
