    I've had my dv9700t CTO notebook for about four days and everything is working great. Should I delete the SWSETUP folder? I do know that it contains most of the installed software, most of which I don't use. I really don't want to do a fresh install, as I have allready added the programs I like to use and all the games I play. Any advice would be great.

    After you make the backup recovery discs, you can safely delete that folder.

    or you can also burn that folder to disc, just for easy access to those files if you ever need them
