Removing individual files

thanks Wizer.  my real concern in asking that question regards screwing up any indexes that Smartware might be keeping someplace or the ‘catagory’ size values in the .com.wdc.metadata.xml file that is kept or used as a simple hash check, thus causing Smartware to not be able to restore or crash.  

so, is it a clean delete that will not cause any issues with the Smartsore backup application code?   i have no desire to test this.
