[QUOTE="ADKhikerVW, post: 877516, member: 36483"] Sleep Image is a snapshot taken of the state of your system when you put your computer to sleep. It is usually the same size as your installed RAM. It is what allows you to resume doing what you were doing when you wake up your computer, without restarting all of your applications. If you delete it, it will just come back the next time you put your computer to sleep. I'm not sure what the other file is, but like chscag said, don't go deleting files if you don't know what they are. You could cause some serious damage. [/QUOTE]
