Eraser leaves empty folders in root directories

[gdanaher]

Each time it runs it creates temporary folders but leaves behind folders similar to abcdefg.abcd in the root directory of every partition it works on. Is this a bug, undocumented feature, or something I am doing wrong at this end. Using WXP Pro sp2 with p4 processor and intel board.

Eraser clears unused disk space, in part, by creating random-titled files. Normally, it deletes those files. I've never noticed what you're seeing, but I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to be doing that.

I think I would run scandisk as a first step to make sure the filesystem isn't corrupt.
