In general you should be careful about deleting .dat-files, some of them
are crucial to your system and protected for very good reasons.

i useto delete index.dat files.

Not really. You can take ownership of files use takeown and icacls, and
allow them to be deleted. But in the case of index.dat files it is a
cumbersome task, maybe requiring you to run in Safe mode and so on, and
you might still end up with no success. It is simpler to just use a clean
up tool.
