Recently I've been having issues with my personal laptop's hard drive running out of space.
After scanning my PC with WinDirStat I noticed a file named "Windows.db" (located in C:/ProgramData/Microsoft/Search/Data/Applications/Windows) taking up 116 GB(!) of memory on my hard drive. I believe it's a Windows search index database.
Is it safe to delete this file to free up space?
NOTE: My PC is running on Windows 11.
Windows.edb
, notWindows.db
(EDIT: Ah, I'm wrong: it looks like in Windows 11 they changed it toWindows.db
, and it's now a SQLite database, not JET Blue/ESE, hence the filename extension change)
