Remnants of articles that had been published

I found a MATS folder that occupies 289 MB directly under C drive of the computer.

I checked and found that MATS is a folder generated by Microsoft easy fix.

According to the official Microsoft website, the Microsoft easy fix is a tool that can diagnose and resolve third-party software issues that affect Microsoft products.

I don't remember running Microsoft easy fix, but I think I probably used it when I was drunk.

Make a note of the result of investigating the folder "MATS" that may be related to the 289 MB Microsoft easy fix that occupies the C drive.

MATS folder structure

Snapshots of folders and files under the MATS folder are as follows.

c:\MATS

MATS Properties

It is a big size of 289MB.

Identity of the MATS folder

Looking at the contents of the MATS folder, it is just a folder with a familiar name.

FileBackup
Windows
system32
WinSxS

FileBackup is a backup folder by name.

And the fact that Windows system folders such as Windows and sytem32 exist under MATS is still a backup folder.

Therefore, MATS concludes that it is a backup folder.

When I searched for net information just in case, it turned out that MATS is a backup folder generated in the process of executing Microsoft easy fix (Fix It).

Before deleting

I deleted MATS suddenly, but so far no problems have been found.

However,
It is dangerous to delete suddenly, so it is recommended to rename and watch.

Rename MATS (eg MATS x )
Seeing for a while if there is no problem on the computer
Delete if there is no problem

Quote from Microsoft Community post.

From everything I am seeing, it should be fine to delete this folder.
If not, then we can delete it without any risk of harm. That being said, let's rename it first to see if we are any bad behavior.

It is good to remove this folder from everything I see.
Let's change the name first and see if there is a bad act. If not, it can be deleted without risk of harm.
