I have a 250 GB hard drive on my Dell laptop. It has been wiped and restored and I don't really have much on this computer. A total of 152 GB is in windowsimagebackup. Is this normal?
Solved Why is my windowsimagebackup so big?

Yes, it can be very average especially if one has pictures and music.

So these are just backups of existing files? Do I lose them altogether if I delete them? This is one of those days where I feel like a computer newbie altogether.
