    My Win 10 PC is updated and runs Chome.

    I found these (leftover) files and folders. Should I delete them?

    C:\Users\[user]\Documents\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Pepper Data\Shockwave Flash\WritableRoot\#SharedObjects\NQKZHZAH\

      I think it’s safe to ignore Flash files these days. No current browser supports them.

      cheers, Paul

      it’s better to delete those \Pepper Data\Shockwave Flash\ files & folders as it does not do any harm to the Google Chrome app rather than ignoring them since recent Chrome versions no longer support adobe/shockwave flash

      edit – heck I do NOT even have that \Pepper Data\Shockwave Flash\ folder in my C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default folder – so that Flash folder can be safely removed

      I have loads of my favorite animated Shock Wave files on my old Win XP laptop.  They’re no risk there because it never gets connected in any way to the Internet/Web.  The SW files play nicely on MS Internet Explorer 7.

      Being 20 something in the 70's was so much better than being 70 something in the insane 20's
