Folder (Empty)

A folder is a visual representation of a directory within a file system used by graphical operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows. A user can sort their files into folders to keep their drive organized. Many programs use their own folders to keep their files in one place. Some directories, such as SYSTEM and System32, are reserved for use by the Windows operating system and should not be deleted.
