I did some preliminary research on this folder to see if there was a way to delete it or at least reduce its size. It's only taking up a little over 1 gb, and it may not be very important, but regardless of whether or not it is necessary, I would still like to know if there is a way to eliminate or reduce the size of this folder.
All I found were people saying not to mess with it because it's used with windows searching (duh?). However, I always use 3rd party search utilities. Do I still have to have this folder and does it have to be this big?
The Indexing Service has been disabled (through Control Panel > Programs and Features) for a very long time and strangely enough there isn't even a "Windows Search" listed in the services console.
So, what can you tell me about the folder?
