Idx Files What are they

You will find if you search your computer hundreds of .idx files

Below I will endeavour to explain what they are, and what happens if you delete them.

The .idx extension is used by many databases to create index files.

Some examples of programs that create .idx files include FoxPro, some email client programs, and others.

Index files are usually created to aid in fast searching, and may be created by a music organizer program or a file sharing program.

Deleting the files shouldnʹt harm your music files themselves, but it could damage the search function.

And please bare in mind that the program that created them may recreate them if you delete them.
