Yes, it's something to do with boosting the performance of MSI graphics cards when used with an MSI motherboard.
If your computer has an MSI graphics card and an MSI motherboard then I would leave it alone. If not then you could safely get rid of it.
Unless it's misbehaving though, it's not going to be the cause of your computer slowdown, and would save only a negligible amount of space.0 -
What operating system are you running, Windows 7 or 10? If 7, go to:
Start --> All Programmes --> Accessories --> System Tools --> Disc Cleanup. Follow the instructions to claenup your disc. If you have more than one hard drive, do each one in turn.I think this job really needs
a much bigger hammer.
