Looks like your new installation didnt take care of cleaning up those files ...

Hmmm  ... In my case, I got only the security essencials, nothing else!!!

They say that if they're empty we can delete them but most of them are not empty!!!

Thank Mick, I'm gonna make a ghost backup of the system partition and delete them all, if it gives me problems, I'll replace the system.

Hey Mick,

Just to let you know, backed up the system and deleted all those directories. So far so good, it looks like they're not nedded included the ones containing stuff.

Thanks
