[QUOTE="eric, post: 728796, member: 22327"] any file with a leading dot character is a mac hidden system file. some are ok to delete, some are not. is this C drive a partition on a mac running bootcamp, or a totally separate computer? actually, either way, it should be ok to remove. once you were to recopy the image or any media file really, back to your mac, the mac will recreate the hidden file as needed. i see this all the time with my externals that bounce between my mac and my work pc. i remove the hidden system files related to media files when ever i see them.
