I have found a Mozilla folder in my Windows folder which I would like to get rid of. I suspect it is the legacy of an install/uninstall of Netscape 6(?) but I am not certain. Is such a folder something that comes with or is used by Windows? I am worried that just deleting it might screw up my system. (Altho I do not find any but seemingly trivial references to it in my registry.) Any advice would be welcome. Craig

Moxilla is a browser. Remove it in Add Remove Programs.

Mozilla, as such, is not installed on my system. Since it does not appear in the list of installed programs so I cannot remove it that way. I presume that the Mozilla folder is either left over from something, is being used by something else or comes with Windows. I do not know enough to know which. Craig

Hi, Mozilla does come along with netscape.Open it up and take a look.It may be empty.Some times when you delete a program it leaves empty folders.

Thanks for your reply and information. I currently have Netscape 4.72. But it is installed in a different place and seems unrelated. Would it be using a copy of Mozilla in the Windows folder? I once installed/uninstalled Netscape 6.0 which may have left behind the Mozilla folder in question. Is there any way to tell? Best, Craig

I use netscape 7.1 and the Mozilla that came along with it resides in its own folder in windows application data.I'm not sure about the older versions. If it is a leftover from an uninstall it would be empty.

Again, thanks for the very useful information. I suppose Netscape 6 could have been different than your 7.1 but that seems unlikely. The folder does seem to contain only user data (cache, mail, news, etc.) and no programs which, I think, is what an uninstall might leave behind. I tried an experiment and offloaded the folder. _So far_ that seems to have caused no problems which corroborates the idea that it was not used by anything.
