N360_Backup File

Hi & help! (I'm a new poster.)

 

I was trying to clean up Temporary files on my desktop and found a file named "N360_BACKUP" among my C-drive folders. It didn't look familiar and I thought it might be the backup Norton asked me to create - and created for me - when I reinstalled N360 after renewing my subscription last month. I was pretty confident they weren't my backed up files from Norton because I manually one-by-one deleted them last month when I realized the backup scans on my 4 year old computer that Norton had been creating since 2005 were taking up a lot of room!

 

Anyway, after sending N360_BACKUP to the Recycle Bin (because I figured there couldn't be anything there that I couldn't just download again from the website) - the C drive on my desktop went from 15 GB of free space, to 43.5 GB! Needless to say I am very nervous as to what I just deleted! Please, any information would be appreciated!
