  If you're absolutely, positively sure you're never gonna' use DBLSPACE,
  it's safe to delete from your root dir.  You can also DEL all files from
  the DOS dir that have anything to do with DBLSPACE. ie: DEL DBLSPACE.*

  That huge disk-hogging file is the Windows virtual memory swap file.
  If you delete it, Windows will just ask you to put in a new one.
  Don't delete it.  The corrupted file message probably comes up after
  you delete that file.  If you don't want it there, change from a
  permanent to a temporary swap file.  But if you do change to a temporary
  file, as your disk fills up the virtual memory will decrease.
