What Are The Default File Groups - McAfee UNINSTALLER 6.0 User Manual

Using PowerClean

What are the default file groups?

In PowerClean, files on your computer are grouped into category lists that
make it easy to manage files of certain types on all drives and folders. You can
add your own file groups, as described in "How can I create a custom group?,"
on page 37.
When you start using PowerClean, the major file groups appear in the tree list
in the dialog box. Click the plus sign (+) next to a file group to display
subgroups and files.
The major file groups are described briefly in the following table. A
description of the selected group or subgroup appears in the Advice tab pane.
Note that some files appear in more than one group. For example, the
Non-Critical Files group contains an Archive subgroup which contains the
same files as the Internet Stuff group Archive subgroup

Description
Files that can be deleted without causing your
computer to crash or fail to operate correctly.
Note, however, that this group includes several
subgroups that contain files such as backup files with
the .BAK extension, and archive files, including all files
with the .ZIP extension, as well as bitmap files (.BMP)
and other image and multimedia files.
Files downloaded from the Internet with an archive
extension, such as .ARC, .CAB, and .ZIP, as well as files
that your Internet browser caches for future use,
including .GIF and .JPG files.
The Internet Documents category includes all .HTM
and .HTML files found on your computer. If you are
developing Web-based information, these files should
not be removed without careful examination.
