   • The Hibernation File. Location: C:\hiberfil.sys. Hibernation mode on your PC is similar to sleep mode, except the system saves all your open work to the storage drive and then shuts down.
   • Windows Temp Folder. Location: C:\Windows\Temp. As you'd guess from the name, Windows temporary files aren't important beyond their initial use. The files and folders inside contain info that Windows used at one time, but doesn't need anymore.
   • The Recycle Bin. Location: shell:RecycleBinFolder. The Recycle Bin is a unique folder—while it appears under your C:\ drive, this is protected by Windows and you don't need to access it that way.
   • Windows.old Folder. Location: C:\Windows.old. Whenever you upgrade your version of Windows, the system keeps a copy of your prior files, called Windows.old.
