A. A. NO!!! These files hold the information of your NTFS volume. Below is a table of all the files used by the file system:
| $MFT | Master File Table |
| $MFTMIRR | A copy of the first 16 records of the MFT |
| $LOGFILE | Log of changes made to the volume |
| $VOLUME | Information about the volume, serial number, creation time, dirty flag |
| $ATTRDEF | Attribute definitions |
| $BITMAP | Contains drive cluster map |
| $BOOT | Boot record of the drive |
| $BADCLUS | A list of bad clusters on the drive |
| $QUOTA | Quota information (used on NTFS 5.0) |
| $UPCASE | Maps lowercase characters to uppercase version |
If you want to have a look at any of these files use the command
dir /ah $mft
Its basically impossible to delete these files anyway as you can't remove the hidden flag and if you can't remove the hidden flag you can't delete it!
