Recently bought a new computer and started using windows 7. I noticed that in my documents that there are folders that are already there - eg. favorites, downloads etc - these folders are empty. I've tried deleting them but they reappear after I reboot/restart my computer. Any suggestions as to why they reappear or how to get rid of them. I've owned the computer for 3 days now.

  • Downloads is the default download location for IE, Chrome, etc. Favorites are where your IE bookmarks go...

  • This is normal behavior and is just part of the Users folder hierarchy.

Those folders are part of the OS (Operating System). You cannot delete them.

  • Or maybe you can remove them, but you shouldn't. After all, some parts of OS rely on them, and by the way, those folders do not spend any disk space. Aug 17, 2010 at 16:58
  • Yea your right.
