Hi I have noticed that Roxio is creating extra files in my Windows backups and is giving them the name of the 'real' file followed by "%%% Roxio EMC Stream." It looks as if the extra Roxio files are all 1k files but I don't know what they are and don't think I need them as the 'real' files have been backed up in their native format by Windows e.g. Word or Excel. However I can't delete the...
