unknown document found

I found a rather large word document 29mb.
titled "WIN386swp" I openened it and it's scrambled so I
have no idea what it it is. I want to delete it ( I need
the space).
I was wondering if it was a program or just clutter?
And while I'm here.........is there a place where I can go
to, to look up program names and titles?

I sure hope so......
thank you
Jerry

Hi Jerry,

That's the Windows swap file - you probably can't delete
it via Explorer, though you can through the
System|Performance|Virtual Memory Tab in Control Panel.
Even so, I wouldn't recommend it.

It's usual to let Windows manage the swap file for itself,
though there can be advantages in setting the minimum &
maximum sizes to the same value - usually at least as much
as the available RAM.

Cheers
