CHKDSK is a util that scans the drive for errors.
Sounds like those are the logs for that util. I wonder why they're so big? |

the chkdsk files are the left overs of previous checks. When the util finds bits of files that are seemingly not attached to anything anymore and are just taking up space, it dumps them in there. It's just a collection of some of the garbage on the disk. Feel free to delete it. Depending upon how much disk activity you have and how often you run chkdsk the amount of stuff it finds can be quite large.

There is nothing you can do with those, dump them.
Do a search, or find, and look for *.chk files. Delete them, and you free of a lot of space. |
