Hi, while investigating a problem folder i enable the hidden files to be viewed in all folders a while back. well recently i had noticed these weird files that were exact duplicates of files in most of my folders except that they had a "._" prefix. i have been deleting them because when i tried to open them they were unreadable. i just now realized that they are the hidden files that i made visible. am i messing up my files by deleting them? i am still able to open the original normal file and everything seems fine. i appreciate anyone's info.
i understand that messing with hidden files may lead to problems. im more cautious when it comes to system files, and since the ones i have deleted were just hidden parts of word files and pictures i didnt think it was a problem. please someone tell me if im wrong. Thanks for the advice, ill try out google.
Another Advice, you can use system cleaners like ccleaner. It wipes out garbages in your disk. Check out here at www.ccleaner.com
Bonus point is, it is freeware
Ok so i ended up doing s system recovery, and set my computer back to factory settings so i think i am problem free at the moment. Thanks for all your guys' help. i appreciate learning about this stuff.
